Hypermesh 2017.2 Node picking problem

User: "Altair Forum User"

Hi,

 

I have been struggling to pick nodes from the screen, specially when the node I want to pick  is the independent (centre) node of an  RBE (spider) with lots of dependant nodes. This did not use to be a problem in older versions. Do other people have this issue and is there any way around this problem? I have tried to adjust  the 'node tol', 'pick tol' on the mesh option but it did not help.

 

Thanks

    Hi afura

     

    You can identify the independent node id of a rigid by using card edit option. click on card edit > select the rigid element and set the options as per image > click edit and then you can see the independent node of rigid.

     

    Then for a further selection of this node you can select using node id

    Thanks but by RBE I meant an RBE2 or RBE3, not rigid body.
