*GlobalNodes

*GlobalNodes

This command returns the nodes that belong to an element's face where a condition has been defined (on the loop over the elements). The direction for this is the same as for that of the element's connectivities. The returned values are considered as integers (see *intformat and *format).If *GlobalNodes receives an integer argument (beginning from 1), this argument indicates which face connectivity must be written.

So, the local numeration of the faces is:

Triangle: (1-2) (2-3) (3-1)
Quadrilateral: (1-2) (2-3) (3-4) (4-1)
Tetrahedra: (1-2-3) (2-4-3) (3-4-1) (4-2-1)
Hexahedra: (1-2-3-4) (1-4-8-5) (1-5-6-2) (2-6-7-3) (3-7-8-4) (5-8-7-6)
Prism: (1-2-3) (1-4-5-2) (2-5-6-3) (3-6-4-1) (4-6-5)
Pyramid: (1-2-3-4) (1-5-2) (2-5-3) (3-5-4) (4-5-1)
