How to set up sensor_define_element_set without SETOPT parameter?

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling with sensor_define_element_set configuration in Ls-Dyna 12.0. Looking at the manual (see below), I found out an useful example I need to reproduce:

My issue is that SENSOR_DEFINE_ELEMENT_SET actually requires a one more parameter (missing in this example), SETOPT, which seems to be mandatory when "set" flag is on. SETOPT makes the set output as a unique value, so that I cannot specify a "minus" ELEMID, otherwise LsDyna outputs an error saying the -ID set is missing and it cannot find such a set. (This is correct since you ask for an output for each single element with a -ID set, while the SETOPT outputs a single value derived from the whole set).

Having saying that, what about this issue? How can I unflag the SETOPT option? Is that a bug? Am I doing something wrong? I want to reproduce the exact same example above, but in that case the SETOPT seems to be deactivated, which I cannot unflag even though the exact same LsDyna version (r 12.0)...

Thank you for any help!
