how to mark recently imported elements

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

I am trying to import some elements into a large model, I have set the import flag to offset the nodes, elements, components, etc and so I will not be aware of the node & element numbers.

 

Is there anyway to mark elements / nodes that are part of an import?

Before importing, make mark_1.

After importing, make mark_2.

Your newly imported elems = mark_2 - mark_1 /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

You sir are a genius.

 

Now comes my other dumb question:

 

how do you subtract one mark from the other?
