"Nodes" Listing error

Dear Sir,

When I made volume meshing, for node identification ,when I select a single node (after Utilities->list ->Nodes),it's displaying "473 nodes added".
That is, it's selecting additional 472 nodes. When I listed down them,except for node I had selected, remaining nodal coordinates are displayed as "NaN".Please help me resolving this.

Thanking You.

Attach a zip with the model.
How has been crated?

As I explained by e-mail the model is corrupted because of a degeneracy of the geometry on the revolution axis, specially after collapse very close points.
The best approach is to not use a structured mesh in the volumes touching the revolution axis, because of this degeneracy.
In your case is possible to use a semi-structured mesh to be able to have hexahedra also in these volumes (the rest of volume rings could be fully structured)
