Get node coordinate

Get node coordinate

Get node coordinate

(OP)
Hi,

I am working on contour method to get residual stress. Using ABAQUS/CAE, I need to extrapolate, as text file, the node coordinates on a face of my model.
After I should also to apply to these selected nodes a displacement value that is different for every nodes.

Can anyone help me on this problems? 1) get nodes position and apply specific boundary conditions

Thank you in advance

RE: Get node coordinate

I think you should add follow to .inp date:
*Node Output
COORD
 

RE: Get node coordinate

Hi,

go to Tools - Query - Point/node and pick the node you want the coordinates for. You have to be in mesh module.

RE: Get node coordinate

If the number of nodes are large, try using the DISP user subroutine. In the fortran subroutine, you have access to the nodal co-rodinates and you can specify whatever value for the displacement boundary condition necessary.
