Selection of Corner Nodes

Hello,

 

I have a an issue in modeling. I have created a mesh with second order elements.

Now I like to create an RBE3 by selecting only the corner nodes. Is there a way to do this ?

 

When I select nodes with the options I found on Hypermesh, the mid nodes are also selected which I dont want.

 

So now I am manually selecting the corner nodes, but since the surface is a large area it takes a long time to do it manually.

 

It would be great if someone ca help me with a easy way.

 

Regards

Nagendra

    Hi Nagendra,

     

     i can't see any option to select corner nodes only.

     

    Maybe you can switch the elements to first order, select nodes and create your elements and switch back to second order (2D->order change).
