Group Nodes with Analysis Coordinate Systems

Author: Ian Rivard

 

Description:

This script was written by Ian Rivard, as a model audit script and simply creates groups (or lists summaries) of nodal analysis coordinate systems. It will loop through all coordinate systems in a model and will create a group or list the summary (count) of nodes that use each coordinate system for analysis coordinates. This can be useful when modeling something like a "Rutman" or similar fastener and models have lots of fasteners with individual coordinate systems that require nodal coordinate systems to be set to a local one.

 

Use Instructions:

run the tool, follow the prompts.

 

Requirements:

An open model with at least one node.
