              'alpha'|'beta'|'nadapt' <value>

This keyword is used to define the first node- or element number which will be used for the next mesh generation. And it is used to redefine the leading character of new entities. The default is P for points, L for lines, C for combined lines (lcmb), A for surfaces, B for Bodies, Q for nurb lines (nurl), N for nurb surfaces (nurs) and S for sets. For example
asgn p U
will assign the character U as the leading character to all newly created names of points. The automatically created names of geometric entities use 4 characters. If all possible names with the chosen leading letter are in use then the alphabetically next letter is chosen as a leading letter, so after PZZZ follows Q000. If no more letter follows then the amount of letters per name is increased. The maximum number is 8. Each entity has his own name-space. So different entities might use the same name. Remark: Currently nurbs-lines are reduced to splines sharing the same name. The original nurbs-lines are not saved in a file after leaving the program. The unstructured mesher [13] uses the tree parameters alpha, beta, nadapt for mesh-control. Current default is 0.4 for alpha and beta and 4 for nadapt.
