      This can be done by modifying the key option. Use the following command to modify the key option: KEYMOD,ITYPE,KNUM,VALUE TYPE Element type number as defined on the ET command. KNUM Number of the KEYOPT to be defined (KEYOPT(KNUM)). VALUE Value of this KEYOPT. This is undocumented command. Sometime changing the key option abruptly can give wrong solutions, make sure that the results are correct
