Nodal Point Coordinate Block

    Purpose: Defines the nodal coordinates

    1. Record:
    Format:(1X,'   2','C',18X,I12,37X,I1)
    Values: KEY, CODE,NUMNOD, FORMAT
    Where: KEY    = 2
           CODE   = C
           NUMNOD = Number of nodes in this block
           FORMAT = Format indicator
                    0  short format
                    1  long format
                    2  binary format

    Following records (ascci, FORMAT=0 | 1):
     Short Format:(1X,'-1',I5,3E12.5)
     Long Format:(1X,'-1',I10,3E12.5)
     Values: KEY, NODE, X,Y,Z
     Where: KEY    = -1
           NODE   = node number
           X..    = coordinates

    Following records (binary, FORMAT=2):
     Format:(int NCOMPS*float)
     int and float are ansi-c data-types
     Values:  NODE, X,Y,Z
     Where:
           NODE   = node number
           X..    = coordinates

    Last Record (only FORMAT=0 | 1 (ascii), omitted for FORMAT=2):
    Format:(1X,'-3')
    Values: KEY
