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)
