allsel ! Select all entities of the model.

*GET, E_COUNT, ELEM,0,COUNT

/PREP7

my_elements = E_COUNT

*cfopen, element_data_file,txt        !Create a txt file called "node_data_file"​

*do,i,1,num_elements,1          ! Loop over each node​

    num_nodes = ETABLE(ELEM, i, NODE, 0)​

   node_id_1 = ETABLE(ELEM, elem_num, NODE, 1)​

   node_id_2 = ETABLE(ELEM, elem_num, NODE, 2)​

   node_id_3 = ETABLE(ELEM, elem_num, NODE, 3)​

   node_id_4 = ETABLE(ELEM, elem_num, NODE, 4)​

   *vwrite, node_id_1,node_id_2,node_id_3, node_id_4              ! Write out these values​
