28.9 MeshNode object

The MeshNode object refers to a node of a native mesh or an orphan mesh. A MeshNode object can be accessed via a part or part instance using an index that refers to the internal numbering of the node repository. The index does not refer to the node label.

28.9.1 Node(...)

This method creates a node on an orphan mesh part.

Path

mdb.models[name].parts[name].Node

Required argument

coordinates

A sequence of three Floats specifying the coordinates of the new node.

Optional arguments

localCsys

A DatumCsys object specifying the local coordinate system. If unspecified, the global coordinate system will be used.

label

An Int specifying the node label.

Return value

A MeshNode object.

Exceptions

None.

28.9.2 getElemEdges()

This method returns a tuple of unique element edges that share the node.

Arguments

None.

Return value

A tuple of MeshEdge objects.

Exceptions

None.

28.9.3 Members

The MeshNode object has the following members:

label

An Int specifying the node label.

instanceName

A String specifying the name of the part instance that owns this node.

coordinates

A tuple of three Floats specifying the coordinates of the new node.
