*NSET

[portliner]

I have created a SET in the ASSEMBLE module CAE to get a set of nodes for results output. The set is surface-based. However, the resulting *Nset does not contain all of the nodes on the selected surfaces making up the SET. Anyone familiar with this? I use version 6.12-2 Windows, Thanks in advance.

The set is surface-based.

I am not sure what you mean. Was the set you created a node set or an element set? If the surface on which the nodes were selected is not flat, you may have to play with the "angle" a little to make sure /CAE detects all nodes of interest.

thanks for your comments. It is a general SET created in the ASSEMBLY module, and it when refering to the set for stress output as "unique nodal" both a NSET ans ELSET is created in the inoput-file. The surfaces are not completly flat but I cant find the angle to play with.

Isolate the element surface of interest by using Create Display Group and viewing planes so you can simply select the nodes individually in one shot.
