Internal Sets

additional remark:
I guess there must a possibilty to get to it, because the GUI can do it without having neither the input file nor the cae file. I guess there could be some workaround way by interpreting the defintions that created the internal node sets, e.g. contact/interaction. But I don't know how I can get to the interaction definitions in the ODB file. Any information about that?

it doesn't seem like you can get to the internal sets in the odb using python... but, i agree, it must be possible if viewer can get them?
i know you can access the contact pairs if you import the odb into a new cae model (file.. import.. model.. from the menus) but i don't see how to do that with python either.
any chance that the surfaces in your contact pairs are named? then you could access the nodes this way:
odb.rootAssembly.surfaces[surface_name].nodes
or
odb.rootAssembly.instances[instance_name].surfaces[surface_name].nodes
depending on if it's an instance or assembly surface...

No, unfortunately the surfaces have not been explicitly named. If I had done so, it would be quite nice to do. I agree with that.
It seems as if Simulia does not give to the user all the possibilities that are available with Python here (at least in the documentation) and that are implemented in the GUI.
I mean it should be possible to access the interaction definitions?!

Please leave your odb file here and tell me which nodes you want to select..
