Hello,

I would like to create a named selection of an area inside my volume in order to evaluate the deformation of the area selected. To specify the area I use cartesian coordinates but because I am running an FSI there are two volumes within the selected area and hence I select the nodes of both with the worksheet. Because I am interested in the nodes of the inner volume I tried using filters but I cant set it up properly.

I thought I could select all nodes at the area of interest and filter those selected to be the ones only of volume xyz but this does not work. Can anyone help me set this up or is there any other way to define the area described?

Can you create named selection of the body(brown volume)
Then create another named selection,
Filter 1: Select body from named selection
Filter 2: Select the nodes
Filter 3: select nodes with your coordinates

Sorry for my late response. In the meantime I started utilizing APDL to get those tasks done but thanks for your answer, I might try this later on!
