get_array

[peluho]

Dear all,

I'm trying to extract the nodes number of a selection, a first should be simple. But I do not know what I'm doing wrong

I do select the nodes concerned:

mapdl.esel('s','type','','12')
mapdl.nsle()

if I print the list is good

when I try to store the node list in an array as follows:

nlist_array=mapdl.get_array('NODE', item1='NLIST')  # when I print the nlist_array is totally empty [ ]

I do not know what I'm doing wrong :( any suggestion?

thank you very much,

dP

Hi @peluho

if I print the list is good

Which list??

to retrieve the selected nodes, you can do:

mapdl.mesh.nodes

If nlist_array is empty, it is very likely you have not selected any node. Could you share the code that lead to that line?

I tried mapdl.mesh.nodes and it worked perfectly.

Thank you @germa89
