Get node coordinate

[stone12345]

Hi,

I am working on contour method to get residual stress. Using ABAQUS/CAE, I need to extrapolate, as text file, the node coordinates on a face of my model.
After I should also to apply to these selected nodes a displacement value that is different for every nodes.

Can anyone help me on this problems? 1) get nodes position and apply specific boundary conditions

Thank you in advance

I think you should add follow to .inp date:
*Node Output
COORD

Hi,

go to Tools - Query - Point/node and pick the node you want the coordinates for. You have to be in mesh module.

If the number of nodes are large, try using the DISP user subroutine. In the fortran subroutine, you have access to the nodal co-rodinates and you can specify whatever value for the displacement boundary condition necessary.
