Hi everybody,
I can’t find some nodes. For some nodes it works, but for nodes between approximately 200000 and 300000, when I click Find, nothing happens.
I’m sure these nodes exist, but I can’t find them using the Find tool. Have you already seen and solved something like this?
Thanks very much for your help.
Are you using shells or tie constraints ? Sometimes nodes are internally renumbered by CalculiX.
It happend to me too ! Especially when I merge mesh parts and then delete it to make a new mesh …
The nodes might be renumbered by some operations. Of course, remeshing may do that too. You would have to be sure the expected node numbers are still present in the resulting mesh. You can use Query tool to check the node numbers in the locations where you expect certain numbering.
I used tie constraints, and the nodes I’m looking for are in this area. But I get every nodes from the FRD and they have this numbers…
If adjustment is enabled, tie constraints may change the coordinates of some nodes:
But I guess it could also affect node numbering in some way. Try disabling the adjustment.
How do you know the node with the Id 200000 exists?
I would need a sample file to find the problem.
Because I extracted all the nodes from the .frd file, and those nodes were present. I redid the whole simulation and the problem disappeared.
Maybe when we use the same .pmx several times with different parts and meshes, PrePoMax keeps the old nodes…
Thanks for your help.
