*NSET and *ELSET question
*NSET and *ELSET question
(OP)
Hi all,
When using the *NSET and *ELSET commands to create node / element sets, is it possible to read in node / element numbers from an external text file? Similar to the *NODE and *ELEMENT commands with which you can use the parameter INPUT=?
I have written an input file for a simple structural analysis and for clarity I would prefer to reference long lists of nodes / elements to external text files.
Not a big deal but would appreciate any input.
Many thanks,
Dave
