Can you export faces with corresponding node ids from a model in HyperView?

Thanks for your fast response. Unfortunately, this is not exactly what I am seeking for.
Face definition from Wikipedia: "In solid geometry, a face is a flat surface (a planar region) that forms part of the boundary of a solid object;"
I tried to demonstrate it on the following picture:
However, it is not clear which nodes of the element form a face from the element connectivity.

despite of wikipedia's definition, people can think on faces as many different definitions
anyway:
can you describe what exactly do you need as an output?
just nodes from a particular face? or coordinates as well?
You can get this using a script, but you need to have a sample output file.
The attached scripts could be tuned to perform what you need in HyperMesh/HyperWorks.
You just need to use the 'by face' selection.
Yeah that is true I hope that it is clear now.
I just need the node ids of all faces.
Supposing there are n faces with x nodes each, it could look like this:
face | node id 1 | ... | node id x |
1 | 1 | ... | 3 |
2 | 3 | ... | 5 |
... | ... | ... | ... |
n | 100 | ... | 114 |
I would be very glad, if I could get this information with a script.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to find your attached script. Where can I find them?

sorry about that.
now they're attached here.
you could adapt these scripts to get what you want.
what do you mean by 'faces'? do you need the element connectivity? (elements/nodes)?
if yes, you can export them from HM easily, by using 'faces' command, and export displayed.
