Hi,

I am reviewing an optistruct simulation in hypermesh. I want to plot/extract coordinates (global system) along a node path (see picture). What ist the best way to do that?

If I go to "Measures" and select "Position" I can´t select a nodepath when I am using "multiselect". When I select "node path" I can´t select "Position" or Coordinates as a value to plot over "distance" when creating a graph.. Is there a way to get coordinates as an output result?

Thank you very much in advance

    One way is to plot deformed shape in HV and export a *fem file. The fem file will have the coordinates of all the nodes in the deformed position.
