Hi all,

 

I have set of elements to which the 1D elements has to be created.

 

Is there any scripts which can determine the centre nodes at edge of an individual elements and create 1D elements at all the midnodes.

 

I have shared the example file in the picture.

 

Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Tinh,

     

    I want to use 1st order elements only. I have 5 components in such manner.

     

    So, I want to know if any scripts are available to it.

     

    Thank you.

    I can write such a script.

    But it is not popularly used. So try writing it your self.
