finding adjacent nodes (or elements) to a known nodeID.

Hi

Would like to know if there is an easier way of getting all the adjacent nodes to a node with a known ID. I rather not loop through all the nodes in the model and check against coordinates as it will take long.

If I could get the elements that the node belongs to that would also give me enough to work with.

Appreciate any Ideas :)

Cheers

Hi @Kev , to get the connectivity (which elements is attached to a specific node), you can use DPF: https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/1724/named-selection-node-ids-position-and-node-connectivity-with-dpf
