Node data

Returns coordinates of a selected node.

RSA_NODE_DATA (Information type, Node no.)

The RSA_NODE_DATA formula syntax has the following arguments:

Information type

The following types of information are available:

• X

  X coordinate

• Y

  Y coordinate

• Z

  Z coordinate

Note: If you type an argument in the formula manually, enclose the text in quotation marks. You can also select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.

Node no.

The following input methods are available:

• Number - type a integer
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@"
  Note: If nodes are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first node selected.

EXAMPLE

Open the RSA_FORMULAS.rtd and RSA_FORMULAS.xlsx files to get a better understanding of the example below.

Note: The files are located in C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/Examples/Results Connect/RSA.

Formula:

RSA_NODE_DATA("X",H24) - specifies the X coordinate for the node with the number determined in the cell H24

Result (node coordinate):

-1.2192 (X coordinate for the node number 7)
