I am modelling loads on cylindrical surface area and need to select nodes on this area. Does anyone know how to select nodes on area ??
 
Hi,
select the area, then issue
NSLA,<selection method>,<selection option>
where:
- <selection method> is s (select from full set), r (reselect from curent selection), a (add to current selection), or u (unselect from current selection) as usual
- <selection option> is 1 (all nodes on surface, including shared boundaries) or 0 (only interior nodes of surface).

Regards
 
Thank you very much..I used following commands if anyone wants to review it.

asel,s,area,,68,, ! Selects Area-68
nsla,s,1 ! Selects node on this area
