Hypermesh proposes the Boolean Operations tool to list elements/node and create new sets.

 

You can set Boolean operations with the following types:

  • Union
  • Intersection
  • Union-Intersection
  • Remove list B from list A
  • Remove list A from list B

 

This tool can be found under Aerospace->Sets->Boolean On Sets (Optistruct and Nastran)

 

Aerospace menu is hidden by default. It can be shown by right clicking in the top drop-down menu (View->Ribbons->Aerospace):
