Get node coordinates with Hypermesh (new interface)

Hi

I've added "new interface" in the title just to say i used Hypermesh (previous interface) during about 15 years before moving to another company (5 years ago). I mainly performed hex dominant meshes on assemblies using "Solid map" (from memory) + some shortcuts like F2, F5, F11, etc :-)

Today, i'm testing Hypermesh 2025. So far, i've (re)found about 70% of the methodologies i used, but i'm spending a lot of time to dig for small but usefull details such as:

to get the coordinates of a node - clicking 3 times on ;-)
(mirroring elements using 3 nodes)

Additional questions will probably come (the step is abrupt between the 2 interfaces :-).

Thanks for your time

Paul

To find coordinate of node, you can edit its properties

YOu can use the vector tool to specify the 3 nodes (hold ctrl to specify quickly)

you can also use Copilot

Hello Jason,

Thanks for the feedback and the link (i'll dig into).

However still looking for which configuration I need to change to get the informations (see screenshot - Entity editor is empty).

OK I got

The default Optistruct interface does not provide nodes coordinates :-)
