How can I extract the coordinates of nodes after a deformation on ANSYS and ABAQUS platform and obtain the coordinates of these points corresponding to the nodal points in the deformed body?
i have tried with path but its not giving me what i wanted !!! (https://www.simutechgroup.com/FEA/fea-tips-tricks-ansys-path-nodes.html)
Thank you
For ANSYS Workbench you can follow the steps given in the enclosed link. But note- instead of converting CDB file to geometry, you can use the deformed mesh CDB file to extract the nodal coordinates by using mechanical model object or using CDB in APDL and issuing NLIST command.
For APDL, simply after UPCOORD command use NLIST command.

In case of PERMAS you might use

ITEM MODL NEWCOOR
GO PERMAS
in your user control interface.
