Unfortunately, there is no easy way to put those nodes in the correct "connect-the-dots" order to draw a curve through them, but you could import the points, then create the curve by manually connecting the points. You need to delete all the interior nodes, leaving just the outer and inner surface nodes. In the first image in my post above, you can see that there are three elements through the thickness, or four rows of nodes. Take the one point at the center and the few points at X=0 and Z>0. ![]() You could create an undeformed tyre (tire for my friends in the USA) by using a very few points in that file. Do you have access to that structural FEA model? If you also had the element data with the nodes, that would represent the mesh and you would be much more successful importing the mesh than just the nodes. The problem is that it is all the points, including the points inside the thickness, and not just the surface nodes, which is what you would want. What was the source of that spreadsheet? It looks like it is the deformed nodal coordinates of a structural FEA model.
