Hi,
One of my professors asked me to extract the natural frequency of a model and now he wants me to give him the original and the deformed coordinates of model's nodes. So after the frequency step, I know I can find the original nodes locations at the .inp file and I also know that I can find the deformed coordiantes at the Query, but I have about 30,000 nodes and I just cant copy/paste 30,000 times from query! Is there any other way(s) to extract all of them?
Thank you in advance!
ps: sorry if my question is really dumb, I'm just a second year undergraduate student and I'm learning "Stress, Strain and blah blah blah" this semester! I had totally no idea about FEM, "Natural Frequnecy!!" and stuff and my professor gave me this project! But i'm happy that I'm working with these softwares and studying about their theories from now, maybe someday i'll create something like these softwares! who knows? right?

If you want to find all location of deformed nodes, do the below procedure:
1- Query
2- Probe values
3- Check the "Select a display group" (here, if you are looking for entire nodes of your model, then in opened option select "All". If you are looking for a specific nodes, before ruining your model, create a group, then run, then do the step 1 to 3 and instead of "All" select your created group).
Then, software automatically selects the nodes and inserts the coordinates to the probe fields.
4- Select all values and then hit "Write to File" at the left bottom of the probe values window.
5- the software create a .rpt file.
6- Open the file using Notepad
7- Select the values and paste them to EXCEL, if you need.
