The easiest way to get a result at a location is to have a node at the location. The task can be performed by using element sizing so the node will be at the desired location. Another method is to create a hardpoint so that a node will be generated at the location during meshing. This method is not typically recommended, but it will place a node at that location so that the result can be retrieved. If changing the mesh is not an option, the only way to get a result at an arbitrary location is to create a path with one of the path points at the desired location. The PPATH command allows the user to enter locations in the workplane or enter specific coordinate locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-165357","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4431","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-mechanical-apdl","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
