Inputting a table of node coordinates into HyperMesh

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

    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; }
