Hi,

I utilized DMAP alter to extract the displacement using the ul diplacement matrix.

I got a output of nodal displacement.

However I also want to get the list of node ID corresponding to the displacement.

How can I do that in DMAP?

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
 
Do you just need a human-readable printout of the displacements with grid IDs? Because in that case it should suffice to write either the command 'DISPLACEMENTS=ALL' or the command 'DISPLACEMENTS(PUNCH)=ALL' in the Case Control section of your Nastran runfile. The former will write the displacements with grid IDs to .f06 output file, whereas the latter will write it to .pch output file.
