Meshing 1

[MNS747]

Hi All
I have 7 parts (independent) which are assembled together. After running the simulation i am trying to extract the nodal data from the model. Everything seems fine but what i have noticed are the node numbers. That is for every part, the node number starts from zero in the data. What I want is continuous numbering i.e. if part1 nodes are from 0-250 then part2 nodes should start from 251-300, part3 301-400 onwards. Is this possible to do? Is there anything to do while meshing?
Any answers will be highly appreciated

Regards

In CAE, in the tree, right-click on the model in question, Edit Attributes, Do not use parts and assemblies in input files.

I have the same problem of extract the nodes. How do you make it ?

Thanks

Sorry don't follow: you should now have a .inp without *PART etc., and instead one long list of nodes & elements?

If you want to output specific nodal information, it is best to define a node set and request field- and/or history output for that?
