This keyword is used to create or redefine a set (see also qadd). All entities like points or bodies and so on must be stored at least in one set to be reachable. The set ``all'' is created automatically at startup and will be open (see seto) all the time unless explicitly closed (see setc). To add points to the set ``dummy'' type:
seta dummy p p1 p2
This will add the points p1 and p2 to the set. The following entities are known:

Nodes n, Elements e, Faces f, Points p, Lines l, Surfaces s, Bodies b, Nurb Surfaces S, Nurb Lines L and names of other sets se. If other sets are added then the contents are NOT automatically added. Please use also ``comp do'' to add the contents.

The program will automatically determine the type of the entities if not specified, but then the names must be unique. More than one name can be specified. A minus sign between two names specifies a range of names with steps of ``steps''.

With the '!' key instead of a setname the program generates automatically setnames. The only case were this can be used is to separate independend meshes stored in one set. The single independend meshes are then referenced by new setnames:
seta ! all
