Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: The Find Nearest Node plug-in allows you to easily locate the node that is nearest to a given point in a meshed model or undeformed plot.
Description: You enter the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of any point in the Find Nearest Node plug-in (shown in Figure 135), and Abaqus/CAE shows you the closest node in your meshed model or undeformed plot. In addition, you can optionally limit the search to a particular region of the model, which is useful in large models.
