Hello,

is it possible to get the points of a surface created for a particular instance that as not been meshed yet? this is to check if a particular instance is intersecting other instances on the same assembly. This is to create a 3D micro-mechanic model (RVE) of a random fiber composite material.

By the way, if anyone has an idea on how i can model the RVE i would appreciate the help!

Thank you
