Ansys 12 Modal Analysis - Node Position?

(OP)
Hi guys,
i'm trying to get mechanica to give me the exact position of the nodes of specific modes.
Any idea?

thanks

 

RE: Ansys 12 Modal Analysis - Node Position?

I had this same problem a few months ago.  

Under Analysis Settings/Analysis Data Management change "Save MAPDL db" to "Yes".  

Then open the *.db file in ANSYS APDL and list the nodes

Thanks rcfanatic

I think you're pointing me to the mesh nodes, what I'm looking for are the Nodes od the Mode, ie the points of minimum (=0 in theory) displacement for a specific mode
