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.
