Controlling the Position of Nodes in a Mesh

[1cfc1]

Hi,

I have defined keypoints on a surface of my model. I would like to control the mesh so that it has a node at each of these keypoints. I am using ANSYS Mechanical APDL.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Create the surface using the keypoints created and mesh the surface. ANSYS will retain the positions of the keypoints as points on the surface and create nodes there.

you can create a node everywhere in your model (line, volume or area) using hardpoint. its command in mechanical apdl is hptcreate.

HPTCREATE, AREA,(area number), (number assigned to the hard point), COORD, (x coordinate of the point), (y coordinate of the point, (z coordinate of the point
