ABAQUS: findAt() and the pointOn question

ABAQUS: findAt() and the pointOn question

ABAQUS: findAt() and the pointOn question

(OP)
Hello everyone,

This thing is driving me crazy. It is about the findAt() and the pointOn methods. I have a list of edges called pedges. For testing purposes I ask first for a point on a given edge and I get ((925.125, 554.1, 0.0),), then I ask abaqus to find an edge for the same point but then the point cannot be find. See below:

>>> pedges[0].pointOn
((925.125, 554.1, 0.0),)
>>> print pedges.findAt((925.125, 554.1, 0.0))
({'featureName': 'Shell planar-1', 'index': 0, 'instanceName': None, 'isReferenceRep': False, 'pointOn': ((925.125, 554.1, 0.0),)})

This doesn't make sense (to me).

Can someone explain?
Thanks!
