Select Node /Select Elements	Lets you select the nodes or elements on which to list information.
Node Labels/Element Labels	Lets you add nodes/elements to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of node/element labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of node/element labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection/Edit Element Selection .
Node Options
Displacement CSYS	Lists the displacement coordinate system for the selected nodes.
Coordinates	Lists the coordinates of the selected nodes.
Connected Elements	For each selected node, lists the IDs of all the elements connected to that node.
Element Options
Format	Controls the type of report the software generates on the selected elements.Choose Tabular to generate a brief listing of element information in a table format. Depending on the options you choose, Tabular provides information such as element type, mesh and mesh collector IDs, and the IDs of the nodes associated with each element.Choose General Listing to generate a more comprehensive listing of element information. Depending on the options you choose, General Listing, provides detailed information about, for example, mesh properties and attributes, such as whether a Shell Offset is defined. It can also include all properties defined in a mesh collector as well as quality data for each element.
Element Type	Lists each element's type.
Mesh ID	Lists the ID of the mesh to which the element belongs.
Mesh Information	Lists all attributes and their values currently defined for the mesh to which the element belongs.
Mesh Collector ID	Lists the ID of the collector to which the element belongs.
Mesh Collector Information	Lists all physical properties and their values currently defined for the mesh collector to which the element belongs.
Connected Nodes	Lists the IDs of each element's nodes.
Solver Syntax Preview	When Simcenter Nastran or MSC Nastran is the selected solver, displays a preview of the Nastran syntax in which the selected elements or nodes will be written out to the Nastran input file.
Quality Values	Lists the quality values, such as warp or aspect ratio, for each element.
