Hi guys,
I've got bogged down by this problem for quite a while:
I set two points in the two-point-path coincident, in order to select the only one element the path node has landed in using 'esel,s,path,path_name'
However, in some cases, it seems to me that element very close but outside the path is selected. Since it goes in the manual that:
if vmin=vmax=0.0 in the esel command, tolerance=1e-6...
But in my analysis the smallest distance could bare 1e-9 or 1e-10. so I was guessing it is the tolerance set wrong. Then, I used 'seltol,1e-10' before selection, still it's not working correctly.
Is my guess right or what?
Cheers
Fedor
