Importing the Abaqus *NMAP keyword

You can import an Abaqus model containing the *NMAP keyword, which lets you map a set of nodes from one coordinate system to another either by specifying coordinates or nodes. The software imports both DEFINITION=COORDINATES and DEFINITION=NODES for all values of the TYPE parameter.
