RBE Node Selection

User: "Nikolai"

Hello,

 

I would like to create a RBE between a node in a center of a hole and the surrounding nodes. However I do NOT want to select nodes on the bore wall which is often done because it's easy to select these nodes 'by face' (Attachment left picture). I would like to select nodes in the plane of the center node with a specified radius  (Attachment right picture). Is there any script available? Is there any quick manual way? Only way I could think of is to create a circle geometry around the center node and select nodes by geometry and using the created circle.

 

Hope anyone can help.

 

Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

     

    another option would be to isolate with spherical clipping (Display toolbar)
