How to make nodes visible

[rbas85]

Would anyone know how to tell me how to make the nodes visible every time I select them? In my ABAQUS, the nodes are not visible, for example, when I create a set for them. When I display the group for theses nodes, those are not highlighted. I do not have this problem with elements or surfaces.

Which version of Abaqus do you use ? Do you have all available fix packs installed ?

Are we talking about preprocessing or postprocessing? What feature are you using where you select the nodes? When exactly do you want to see them?

I'm using the version 6.14-1. How do I know if I have all fix packs installed? I'm having this problem in preprocessing. Every time I select them (for create a display group or a set, for example)I cannot see them highlighted. I know they were selected because in the message area, I see how many nodes were picked. For the elements, it's ok. I see them highlighted in the screen.

Strange. When I define a node set in preprocessing I get every selected node displayed red. Maybe some graphical issues on your machine.
But you should also consider trying a newer version of Abaqus. V6.14 is now more than 6 years old.
