    Dear,

    I think .res file is a binary file

    There is reference guide about how to read results using hmreslib.lib

    looking for it in Hypermesh Help

    Hi,

    I am not sure whether it is listed in reference guide

    .out file seems to be a text file and you can parse it by tcl commands open, gets, ...

    but .op2, .res files contains structured data and you need to look for their format definition

    Alternative solution: open them in hyperview and use tcl to parse known data. There is reference guide about tcl classes used in hyperview

    hi, add it to a mark to ignore in next search:

    Set closest1 [hm_getclosestnode x y z]

    *createmark nodes 1 $closest1

    Set closest2 [hm_getclosestnode x y z 0 1]

    *appendmark nodes 1 $closest2

    Set closest3 ....

    *appendmark...

    Hi tinh,

    thank you for ur suggestion.

    While doing this it is considering 2nd order nodes also..but I want to ignore 2nd order node.(in tetra mesh)

    And while appending it considering selected node also as nearest node.

    thank you

    Ok . To ignore mid node, switch all elems to 1st order

    After found 5 nodes, switch elems to 2nd

    You can select nodes on a direction by 

    *createmark nodes 'on plane'

    Or 'by cylinder'
