nsle#
- Mapdl.nsle(type_='', nodetype='', num='', **kwargs)#
Selects those nodes attached to the selected elements.
APDL Command: NSLE
- Parameters:
- type_
Label identifying the type of node select:
- S
Select a new set (default).
- R
Reselect a set from the current set.
- A
Additionally select a set and extend the current set.
- U
Unselect a set from the current set.
- nodetype
Label identifying type of nodes to consider when selecting:
- ALL
Select all nodes of the selected elements (default).
- ACTIVE
- Select only the active nodes. An active node is a node that contributes DOFs to
the model.
- INACTIVE
Select only inactive nodes (such as orientation or radiation).
- CORNER
Select only corner nodes.
- MID
Select only midside nodes.
- POS
Select nodes in position Num.
- FACE
Select nodes on face Num.
- num
Position or face number for NodeType = POS or FACE.
Notes
NSLE selects NodeType nodes attached to the currently-selected set of elements. Only nodes on elements in the currently-selected element set can be selected.
Note
When using degenerate hexahedral elements, NSLE, U,CORNER and NSLE,S,MID will not select the same set of nodes because some nodes appear as both corner and midside nodes.
This command is valid in any processor.
Examples
Select elements assigned to material property 2 and then select the nodes these elements use.
