Script to get co-ordinates of specific nodes in ABAQUS 2

[inap777]

Hi Everyone,

I know this is a basic question, but bear with me please.
I am required to get the co-ordinates of specific nodes on ABAQUS.
I know I can use the tools---> query----> probe values, but this is a rather tedious task for the amount of nodes I need information from.
I know the numbering of the nodes, but just not too sure how to write a script which will save me time in doing so.
If this question has been covered before, I apologise in advance.

Thank You

Hi there,

In order to get the coordinates of specific nodes:

1) Define the node set
2) Field output request->Domain: Set-> Your node set->Volume/Thickness/Coordinates-->COORD
3) Then, if you want to assess the nodal coordinates of your set with a python script, you should use

Coordinates.getSubset(), see Abaqus Scripting User’s Manual.
