how to import node coordinate tables in femap
(OP)
Hello folks,
just have a question:
I have a table of node coordinates as an txt and also as Excel File (from Mathematica) and I would like to import this table into femap and create the same nodes on the same position as in Mathematica. How can i do that?
Thanks a lot!!!!
best regards

or 2) create a dummy model (say 1 element, 4 grids), export an analysis model (ie get a .bdf file), insert your points, copying the formating from the existing GRID cards, and import this.
or 3) wait for Blase to answer !

@ cpt09135 that would be nice if you could post it.
my solution was to export a femap neutral and to edit it as a text file. So i could write a node list, safe the document and read it in again.
for example, FEMAP Neutral entry: 2 Nodes with xyz 0 and x=88 yz 0:
...
927
-1
-1
403
1,0,0,1,46,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.,0.,0.,0,0,
2,0,0,1,46,0,0,0,0,0,0,88.,0.,0.,0,0,
-1
-1
404
-1
...

Please find attached your gift. I create it especially for you ...
You can create the number of nodes you want with the appropriate defCsys and OutpuCsys...
Enjoy :)

RE: how to import node coordinate tables in femap
thank you very much for the gift! Its a pitty, but it is not working.
It seems that the code is not compatible with my FEMAP 10.3.0 64bit Version.
The VBA code is PW protected so I can not update this information. (also to see the code would be interesting for me)
Can you provide the PW and a tipp (maybe I am wrong with my incompatible suggestion)?
Thank you very much for your effort!!!
Best greetings!

RE: how to import node coordinate tables in femap
i attached the file without PW. Sorry but i protect automatically my API program :)
and in VBA go to tools/references/and upload the "femap.tlb" in the Femap directory then press ok
Try and keep me in touch
