Hello,
is there any posibility to get all the node numbers in that connection area of these two parts?
I cant find a way to get them.
I cant have a look only on the inner area to determine alle the node numbers..?
Would be very thankful if you could help me.

You should clarify why you want the nodes numbers in a certain area. There may be a better answer to that question than answering the question about how to get the node numbers in a certain area. In other words, once you get the node numbers, what are you going to do with that information?
Depending on what the "area" is, here are some methods. All of them use the Nastran file (.nas) to get the node numbers.

The contact area is a face.
The Task is to get the total contact forces and also the moments in each direction.
So i have to know the coordinates of each node and their forces to calculate with a small tool in excel for example
the resulting moment of a certain coordinate point.
The best way is probably:
1.) Using your .fno reader
2.) search the right bsseg card number
3.) for every node their coordinates and their forces
4.) define a local coordinate system and calculate the resulting moment
I determine those "reactions forces" with the real bearing stiffness in Nastran.
And after that i use them in a interface of another program for further calculations.
