Field 4 -- entity component/ ham id. Field 5 -- entity type code Field 6 -- entity tag Field 7 -- entity node leaf id. Field 8 -- entity component/ ham id.Repeat record 3 for all entities as defined by record 1, field 8.Records 1 thru n are repeated for each group in the model.Entity node leaf id. and the component/ ham id. are zero for allentities except "reference point", "reference point series"and "coordinate system".
