<li class = "li">The operators <code class = "ph codeph">ID_NAME</code> and <code class = "ph codeph">ND_GROUP_FAMILY</code> are given the symbol * to identify the use of a family name in the command. 
    The symbol represents any string of symbols and must be entered for both operators. Each node group with the given family name receives a design variable 
	constraint with the present family name. The string of symbols * given to the node group (supplementary to the full name of the node group) is defined and 
	listed as having the identical string of characters * to the <code class = "ph codeph">ID_NAME</code> of the generated <code class = "ph codeph">DVCON_SHAPE</code>.</li>
<li class = "li">This command can be used quite well in combination with <code class = "ph codeph">GROUP_AUTO_DEF</code> because the child groups begin with the same prefix. 
    While referencing the group names in <code class = "ph codeph">DVCON_AUTO_SHAPE</code>, the underline _ after the family name is very important because otherwise 
    the <code class = "ph codeph">DVCON_SHAPE</code> entry is also set for the parent group. This can lead to unwanted side effects.</li>
