Elements in proximity of nodes


Hello,
When a list of nodes is imported to a meshed model, is there a way to find what elements are near each imported node, given a certain tolerance?
If so, how to select and export these elements?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
N.


Hi Pranav
Exactly. I use that command for attached elements.
For this case however, I would need to do a script. The problem is that I do not know at the moment, how to transform the idea into the script.

Hi NFMOREIRA
You can learn the basics of scripting from the online tutorials available in HM help.
Hope these links may help you.

Hi @NFMOREIRA
::hwat::utils::GetClosestElement x y z assemname
May be this is the command you are looking for, x y z are the coordinates of corresponding node.
Hi @NFMOREIRA
If the nodes are associated with the elements, there is option to find attached using TOOLS > FIND option in HyperMesh
However there is no direct option to find based on Tolerance. For this you may need to do customized scripting or automation.
