        ----------
        node
            A String specifying the name of the region to be monitored. 
        dof
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the degree of freedom to be monitored at the node. 
            Possible values are: 
            
            - U1 
            - U2 
            - U3

            - NN11 
            - NN30 
            The NT identifiers are not available for mass diffusion. The NN identifiers are 
            available only for mass diffusion. 
        frequency
            An Int specifying the output frequency in increments. This argument is valid only for an 
            Abaqus/Standard analysis.
