Selecting single result node for local results
I want to read the results of individual nodes. How can I do that?

Re: Selecting single result node for local results
I use this method:
1. File "Export", export FEM result as vtk-file
2. open Paraview, load vtk
3. Activate "Hover points on"
4. Move cursor over body, stop, result window opens (do not click, simply move the cursor)

Re: Selecting single result node for local results
Thank you. I will use it like this then.
It would be useful if one could directly select nodes in FreeCAD. Do you know if anyone is working on that feature specifically?

Re: Selecting single result node for local results
In CalculiX you can add the following line to write history output for a given element/node set to .dat file:
- elemental variables:
*EL PRINT, ELSET=...
variable_index
- nodal variables:
*NODE PRINT, NSET=...
variable_index
This option (along with set creation) is not yet supported so you would have to export the input file from FreeCAD, modify it and run the analysis with ccx solver using the command line.
