Hi everyone,
I am trying to access the history output data (displacements) for a nodeset that I have created by mdb.models[].rootAssembly.Set(). However, when I want to access these nodes to create a history point and region, I get this error message saying that I have given a mdbMeshnode object whereas I need to provide an OdbMeshnode object.
So, I am trying to find out if I can create an OdbMeshnode from a mdbNode obejcts. I can create an OdbnodeSet by selecting all the nodes in an odb.instance, then I can check and compare the coordinates of each of these node, with those in my original mdb nodeset and select those that are the same, but this would be a very cumbersome process.
Is there any other way around?
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ashton
