Inputting a table of node coordinates into HyperMesh

MaL2K16

Hello,

 

I am a beginner with HyperMesh and would like to know if there is a way for a user to input a table of node coordinates into HyperMesh instead of having to manually input each coordinate. Manually inputting each X, Y, and Z coordinate is time-consuming, so a shortcut would be great. Here is an example of what the node table looks like.

 

Node Identifier	X	Y	Z
A	0	0	0
B	0.1143	0	0
C	0.1143	0.1905	0
D	0.3048	0.1905	0
E	0.3048	0.3048	0
F	0	0.3048	0
G	0	0	0.381
H	0.1143	0	0.381
I	0.3048	0	0.381
J	0.3048	0.1905	0.381
K	0.3048	0.3048	0.381
L	0	0.3048	0.381
M	0.1143	0.1905	0.381
N	0	0	1.524
O	0.3048	0	1.524
P	0.3048	0.3048	1.524
Q	0	0.3048	1.524

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Here's a very simple TCL script:

 set coordinates { 0 0 0 \ 0.1143 0 0 \ 0.1143 0.1905 0 \ 0.3048 0.1905 0 \ 0.3048 0.3048 0 \ 0 0.3048 0 \ 0 0 0.381 \ 0.1143 0 0.381 \ 0.3048 0 0.381 \ 0.3048 0.1905 0.381 }   foreach {x y z} $coordinates {  	*createnode $x $y $z 0 0 0; }
