So I have a domain that encompasses a sphere impacting a surface which I have made using ALE_MESH_CONTROL_POINTS. I then created both the sphere and the target using ALE_STRUCTURED_MESH_VOLUME_FILLING where the sphere was made using ELLIPSOID geometry and the target was made using a BOXCOR geometry. My question is that I can't select the ALE element in PrePost (says 'no node/element picked') when I want to make a segment from the coordinates of the ALE nodes. Is there a way to select the ALE nodes so then I can base my Lagrangian nodes and elements from those?
