Findmark

Altair Forum User

hi,

I have a set of nodes .I have to find the elements attached to that.

And store it in a variable.

Can anyone tell how to use *findmark  for this.

 

Thanks,

Hello Mahes,

 

#put all node Ids in a mark:

*createmark nodes 1 5000 285201 285459 286047 286925 286926 286929 286930 286932 

#All elements attached to nodes, saved in Node Mark 1, will be saved in Elements Mark 2:

 *findmark nodes 1 257 1 elements 0 2

 

#to set it in a variable

set elementIDS [hm_getmark elements 2]

puts $elementIDS

 

Please refer *findmark documentation for more details :http://www.altairhyperworks.com/hwhelp/Altair/2017/help/hm_ref_guide/topics/reference/hm/_findmark.htm

Hi,

another way is to use *createmark directly, like this:

eval *createmark elems 1 {'by node'} 5000 285201 285459 286047 286925 286926 286929 286930 286932

set ElemList [hm_getmark elems 1]

#puts $ElemList
