Are you sure you have selected the node sets in the `Properties` panel? Node sets will show up in the assembly as empty blocks even if they are not loaded.

Thank you @Kenneth_Moreland , but after adding glyph all nodes are displayed, not only those which are in the set. May be i need some additional filter between .e file and the glyph?

If you only want the data in the node sets, then unselect all the blocks and sets that you don’t want in the `Properties` panel.

You can load the file twice. In one reader, load the blocks with the line elements. In the other reader, load the node sets. Then attach the `Glyph` filter to the reader loading the node sets.
Alternately, you can have one reader loading both (as you do now) and then use the `Extract Block`  filter to extract the node set blocks.
