Hello, I have selected all nodes

[lopessilva]

Hello,

I have selected all nodes with z coordinate equal to -0.2:

A=NSEL,S,LOC,Z,-0.2

I want to save the node numbers on a array, and then calculate the maximum Z displacement on the group of nodes.

Any help appreciated,

look at those commands :

*dim to create a array parameter

*vget to retrieve values and stores them in a array parameter

*do (do loop )
*get to get the loc z for each node of the table
*endo

and then find the max


or directly

NSEL,S,LOC,Z,-0.2
*GET, Parameter_name , node , 0, mxloc, z

hope it helps

Hello,

I can select all nodes that I want.

NSEL,S,LOC,Z,-0.2

I want to get the maximum nodal z displacement in my node selection.

Can you tell me how? I tried to use the *GET command, but with no sucess.
I say the other thread, It could not help me either.

I´m looking for the correct sintax of the *GET command, or any other command that can do what i´m looking for.
