Hi ,

 

I am trying to query  Young's Moduls, Poisson's ratio of a material Ansys profile.

The following command doesn't seem to work -  

         set E [hm_getvalue materials id=$mat_id dataname=E];         set Nu [hm_getvalue materials id=$mat_id dataname=Nu];

 

I also tried the following

Is there any way I can successfuly query all the attributes assigned to the material, irrespective of solver setings?

 

Thanks!

    Which 'Card image' do you use for your material?  If you use 'MATERIAL', you can try:

      

     hm_getvalue mat id=1 dataname=MP_EX_VAL2

    Hi

    Query attribute name by

    hm_attributelistall mats 3 name

    @tinh: on my 2019.1 Hypermesh, this command does not work. In the help I see: 

     hm_attributelistall  Returns a list of all attribute IDs, names, types or type names for the current template.  Syntax : hm_attributelistall value  Type : HyperMesh Tcl Query  Description : Returns a list of all attribute IDs, names, types or type names for the current template. Inputs  value     The type of list to return. Valid values are:      id - the attribute ID      name - the attribute name      type - the attribute type number      typename - the attribute type string

    I think he meant 

     hm_attributelist mats 3 name

    Thanks Q.Nguyen-Dai !

    If the profile was Abaqus, I believe I have to use the following: 

     hm_getvalue mat id=1 dataname=Young

    Now, since I want to write a code which is profile independent, I am wondering if there is a generic query command. (Atleast for basic properties such as Density, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio etc.)

    Yes, I am sorry for the mistake!

    I mean hm_attributelist mats 3 name

     

    @Roshan Shiveshwar if you want a generic way, you will have to filter tokens like E , young in attrib names

    As i see, attrib names of profiles are not same. That means you should store them in a dict.

    Yes. Even I felt the same. Create a custom library of required attrib names and use them as needed.
