\nIf we say have a displacement results and do export, we can filter in excel and se how many nodes there are.<\/p>\n
Otherwise of course this is scriptable either with mechanical act, or with apdl command object .<\/p>\n
As an example (for UZ displacement) the sample code below gets nodes that have absolute z-displacements larger than 0.009 m. These nodes are also added to a named selection and finally a result is scoped to these nodes only.<\/p>\n
model=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model # refer to model<\/p>\n
reader = model.Analyses[0].GetResultsData() # get results data of first analysis in the tree<\/p>\n
DispResults = reader.GetResult(‘U’) # obtain stress results<\/p>\n
DispResults.SelectComponents([“Z”]) # select direction<\/p>\n
nd=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Mesh.Nodes<\/p>\n
stNdres=[]<\/p>\n
stNd=[]<\/p>\n
for i in range(1,nd):<\/p>\n
tempres=DispResults.GetNodeValues(i)<\/p>\n
if abs(tempres[0])>0.0090:<\/p>\n
stNdres.append(abs(tempres[0]))<\/p>\n
stNd.append(i)<\/p>\n
reader.Dispose

\ntemp_sel=ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.MeshNodes)<\/p>\n
nodeNs=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddNamedSelection
\ntemp_sel.Ids=stNd
