Description

Selective mass scaling functionality, especially designed for the treatment of small clusters of nodes. The method is similar to SMS. A node belongs to a cluster if it is not further away than $d_{max}$ from at least one other member of the cluster.

Due to limited compatibility with MERGE and CONTACT this command will be phased out. An alternative command is FREQUENCY_CUTOFF.
