tcl command for number of entities

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

 Any command for getting the total number of entities present in components or loadsets or cards ? Like in Cards, if I have defined 2 output requests, I want the count 2.

 

Thanks.

Hi

with components, you can count entity by marking

*createmark entitytype 1 'by comp name' $compname

hm_marklength entitytype 1 => count

with loadsets (i am not sure what loadsets is, but if you mean 'loadcols'), do it same as components

 

with cards, it's a bit complex

for example card GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUEST, you define 2 output for ACCELERATION

you can get this number by hm_getentityvalue cards GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUEST \$ACCELERATION_NUM 0 -byname

 

with other output, you can search for relevant template-defined data name in template file (press G to know path of template file and look inside it)
