Hi everyone,

I am trying to select nodes based on their coordinate and then to put them in a nodeset but I get "Feature creation failed" error message when I run the following python code:

mesh_nodes=mdb.models['name'].rootAssembly.instances['name'].nodes

selected_nodes=[]
for node in mesh_nodes:
if (-2.501<node.coordinates[0]<-2.499):
selected_nodes.append(node)
mdb.models['name'].rootAssembly.Set(name='test', nodes=selected_nodes)
this last line results in the error message

I appreciate your help.
Thank you.
