ABAQUS PYTHON - Getting node label information in odb

ABAQUS PYTHON - Getting node label information in odb

ABAQUS PYTHON - Getting node label information in odb

(OP)
Hi, I'm trying to find the node where the maximum of a specific output variable is reached by using a loop.
Then I try to 'save' that node. The problem is: Since I'm using multiple instances in my assembly, the node label is not unique I guess. If i try to use the node lable to get further information concerning this node, I only get error messages.
Hope you can help me, this is the first time I'm using python for odb output.

Here's an excerpt:

for frame in step.frames:

for PEQRV_Value in Set_PEQRV_50.values:
if (PEQRV_Value.data > maxPEQRV_50):
maxPEQRV_50 = PEQRV_Value.data
Node_50 = PEQRV_Value.nodeLabel
triax_string = str(Triax_Value[Node_50].data)
