Get all nodes on a outer circumference
Altair EmployeeHello Experts,
I am new to TCL scripting and I am from a IT background. I am learning Hyeprmesh and TCL scripting.
My problem is as follows : when one node is selected, I would like the script to select all the nodes on the same circumference.
After this an RBE3 has to be created with the selected nodes.
I saw a similar solution for selecting all nodes on circumference when one node is pre selected , but that was for a simple cylinder. This is a crankshaft tube.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

If mesh is uniform.. then by selecting 3 nodes its is possible.
-get the center node of 3 nodes
-create plane with these nodes
-find the faces of this component
-select the nodes 'on plane' option
what you say @tinh
Yes i think so. Uniform mesh is a special case, and we need 3 initial nodes
Try reducing to 2: 2 init nodes form a vector, looking for an adjacent node that closest to the vector, repeat one by one will help in case of non-uniform
And try reducing to 1: from 1 node find adjacents and looking for a theesome that form a minimum angle (feature angle along circumference is min, along cylinder axis is max)
Hi,
Unfortunately i don't have the solution to help you
But would you share the solution you found working with cylinders ?
Thanks,
