Hi Sakshi,
To my understanding you want to create a nodal model of cyclinder.
You can use the meshgrid function to generate a grid of points in the x-y plane and then stack them along the z-axis to form the cylinder. See the below code for reference.
% Parameters
radius = 1; % Radius of the cylinder
height = 2; % Height of the cylinder
numCircumNodes = 20; % Number of nodes along the circumference
numHeightNodes = 10; % Number of nodes along the height
% Generate nodal coordinates
theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, numCircumNodes+1);
z = linspace(0, height, numHeightNodes);
[Theta, Z] = meshgrid(theta, z);
X = radius * cos(Theta);
Y = radius * sin(Theta);
% Reshape the coordinates into column vectors
X = X(:);
Y = Y(:);
Z = Z(:);
% Plot the nodal coordinates
scatter3(X, Y, Z, 'filled');
xlabel('X');
ylabel('Y');
zlabel('Z');
title('Nodal Model of a Cylinder');
axis equal;
For more information you can refer to
Hope it helps!
