One can script this (sample script below runs in the script console - have in mind we do not provide any additional help with this it is just a sample that can be modified to perform a certain task):
---
sol=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].GetResultsData
sol.CurrentResultSet=1000000 # last step

temp=sol.GetResult("TEMP")

mesh=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].MeshData

meshIds = mesh.NodeIds

mintempif=1E9

for nodeId in meshIds:
tempnode=temp.GetNodeValues(nodeId)
if tempnode[0]<=mintempif:
mintempif=tempnode[0]
index=nodeId
Z=mesh.NodeById(index).Z
Y=mesh.NodeById(index).Y
X=mesh.NodeById(index).X

sol.Dispose
slMn = ExtAPI.SelectionManager

slMn.ClearSelection
sel = slMn.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.MeshNodes)

sel.Ids=[index]

nstempmin=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddNamedSelection() # named selection for lowest temperature node

nstempmin.Location = sel

or another way is to export the temperatures to excel sort by temperature and look a the node location and number - to do his one needs to set node location in options:


Then to export go to the temperature result right mouse button click and select export to excel:
And then locate the lowest temperature
say using the INDEX function in excel (say if we have 8282 nodes, the temps, in column E, node nr in A, the function in excel would be =INDEX(A2:A8282,MATCH(MIN(E2:E8282),E2:E8282,0)).
All the best
