Specifies the node number on the vessel surface at the point where the nozzle intersects the vessel shell. This is optional. If you do not specify this value, then the nozzle node is connected by the stiffnesses to a point fixed rigidly in space. If you specify this value, then the nozzle node is connected by the stiffnesses to the vessel node. Specify the vessel nodes when you want to model through the vessel from the nozzle connection to the skirt or foundation.

A vessel can be any type of vessel, tank, heat exchanger, vessel head (not just the shell), or any other equipment.
