List of node values from Designstar or Geostar
List of node values from Designstar or Geostar
(OP)
Is there a straightforward way to get the underformed node coordinates into a spreadsheet.
It seems very easy to do it with the node displacements, but I need the original undeformed coordiantes also.
Geostar let me list the coordinates, but when I tried to copy them into excel, the node number and coordinates all imported into the same cell.
(What I'm trying to do is model the deformed shape in autocad. Once I copy have them in Excel, I can copy them into autocad and all the points will plot. Howver, I'd be interested in other suggestions.)

I think an easy way to do this is to use one of the export ASCII translator formats. If you export your mesh as a .geo format, you should be able to snip out the node list with the undeformed co-ordinates and import into EXCEL as a CSV file.
I hope this helps.
