Function
- Query the coordinates of nodes and all types of nodal attributes (loads, boundary conditions, etc.).
Call
From the main menu, select [Node/Element] tab > [Query] group > [Query Nodes]
Shortcut key: [F4]
Input
In the modeling area, select the member first, and then enter the following.
Query Node dialog box
Query
Assign a query item from the list.
Node : Nodal coordinates
If the nodal coordinates are consecutively queried, the distance to the previously queried node is additionally provided.
Node Local Axis : Node's local coordinate system
Support : Nodal support conditions
Point Support Spring : Nodal elastic spring support conditions
General Spring Support : General spring support conditions
Rigid Link : Constraint conditions between the master and slave nodes
Nodal Mass : Concentrated nodal mass
Nodal Load : Concentrated nodal load
Specified Displacement : Nodal specified (forced) displacement
Nodal Temperature
Dynamic Nodal Load
Node Number
Directly enter the node number to be queried in the entry field, or click the entry field and the relevant node in the working window. The queried nodal information appears in the Message Window.
The node numbers and coordinates can also be easily checked with Fast Query. Fast Query displays the basic attributes related to a node or an element snapped in the Model Window in a Bubble Tip.
