Python script - obtaining nodes on a surface set

[yaston4]

Hello all,

I am writing a python script and for part of that I would like to obtain the nodes, coordinates and displacements which are within the geometry "surface set" that I have defined on a surface. Is it possible to do this, if so, how would this be done. Thank-you, really appreciate your help and input.

Thanks.

Hello Yaston4,

let's assume pickedSet is the name of your set. Each set object has a member called 'nodes'. You can call on this using:
pickedSet.nodes
This gives you a MeshNodeArray. You can loop through all the MeshNode objects in this array and find the displacement of each of those nodes.

Hope this gets you started.

Thanks, I managed to sort this out a while ago. Appreciate your kind reply.
