Export selected mesh nodes for experimental modal analysis

      I'm looking for a way to export selected nodes from my mesh with their ID and coordinates which I can later import into the Polytec Vibrometer measurement software to measure the vibration at exactly these points. nIs there a way to add only export the selected nodes into an STL-File? I only found a way to export the whole mesh to STL or selected nodes into a text file. I'm note sure if the Polytec Software can read the text file. nThank you for your help. n

      try inserting a result in the solution branch of the tree for selected nodes and export text file by right clicking on the results.nAlso make sure to turn on node locations in file>optio-AniketnHow to access Ansys help linksnGuidelines for Posting on Ansys Learning Forumnn

      Thanks for your help! nIf it helps somebody else in the future: The Polytec PSV-500 Measuring Software accepts a set of node in the .txt Format. Make sure to include the node location as shown by Aniket. You might need to reformat the .txt file regarding decimals separators. My txt-File hat commas and the polytec software requires points.n
