Select half parts / nodes of with cgx

Hello,

i want to select a part of a model, to show the half model
so, how can i do these?
is it possible to select nodes, who are located in an area
of the coordinate system? like all nodes with positve z locations?
wbr & thx

Use enq.

This is an example how I showed half of a part:

seta nodes n all
enq nodes nhalf rec _ 0 _ 0.3095
comp nhalf up
plot e nhalf

What the enq command here means is basically: find every node within a distance of 0.3095 of y-coordinate 0 for all x and z coordinates.

This is what the output looks like:

(The part is 0.6 wide. The cut-off value is slightly larger than 0.3 to ensure all nodes for elements on the centerline are captured, but not those of the next elements.)
