Determine nodes location

Altair Forum User

Hi everyone,

I need to export the location of some nodes in result file (*.T01). Please show me how to setup this problem.

Thanks!

Hi,

 

to get the displacement of specific nodes written to T-File use /TH/NODE. The default output for /TH/NODE does not include Nodal Position, but you can easily create a time history in HG plotting the displacements an add them to the coordinates at initial state.

 

You also can plot the displacements from the animation-data (*.A001...) via Measures panel in HV. Contour the desired displacement values, go to Measures, select the nodes you want to include in the plot and choose nodel contour from the selection table. Then click 'Create Curves...
