Pre-process of modelling

Pre-process of modelling

Pre-process of modelling

(OP)
After setting up the model in CAE, involving drawing geometry and assigning material, is there any subroutine for me to extract the location of some designated nodes ? We need to add some constraints in those nodes.

The extract nodes are those contacting nodes of two instances.

Thanks

Partition the model at those locations

Thanks. In order to do elastic dislocation constraint, I need a pair of node on each contacting location. Those two nodes in each pair are of same position but with different movement so that a slip is simulated.

I have have written a small c++ script to pick each pair but I wonder if there are other toolbox or subroutine can help me so that I dont need to write a script for other models.

Thanks

Greg,

Thanks a lot. I will try the function of coincident nodes in abaqus.

Cheers,
Jay
