    You can 'renumbering' element/node ID to control min/max.

    Hello @Ray_Airbus,

    Greetings!!!

     

    I believe you could open the .fem file using notepad, and scroll down to Node cards and Element Cards.

    There you could see all node/element number in ascending order.

     

    This works for .key file(LS-Dyna). Hopefully, it should work for other platforms as well.

     

    If you find any other, convenient way, please do share.

     

     

    Thanks & Warm Regards,
