Mesh lines from NL1 to NL2 (defaults to NL1 ) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NL1 = ALL, NL2 and NINC are ignored and all selected lines ( lsel ) are meshed. If NL1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NL1 ( NL2 and NINC are ignored).
