Information about cpress, nodes and y-location to a single file?

Information about cpress, nodes and y-location to a single file?

Information about cpress, nodes and y-location to a single file?

(OP)
Hi

I would be very grateful if someone advised my saving data to a file using command line. My coal is to get information about contact press, node numbers and y-location and  all information should be saved in same file. I need also commmand for that because I am making script. When the data has saved to the file I use the file later in the script. Y-location is required because I need to sort information according the location.

thanks very much for advise

Check out "*Node Print" in the help files.  I hope this helps.

Hi and thanks for answering

When using node print I have to select node set for myself and there is not available information about y-location. Now I am trying to get all information without selecting any nodes.

It is easy to get xy-plot (x=time,y=cpress) but I need same kind of information but x=nodes, y=cpress and additionally the nodes have to be sorted according y-locations.

It is possible to get all information I need to file when using tools/query/probe values option.But the problem is that I am trying to do all work automatically. Query option does not tell me which nodes are contact nodes and that is why I have to select all nodes if I need information about contact nodes. Still it does not matter if I have to print all nodes to the file. The biggest problems is that I do not know how to use query option using commands. COmamnds need to know because I am making script for this kinf of case.

Additionally the contact nodes, and coordinates can be found from the dat-file but it is hard to handle information from dat-file automatically.
