This is a trickier process in HyperView than in HyperMesh  You need a component handle to get the component id from.

 

You can search through the components in your model to match the name you want to the 'Label' which you can retrieve using a command such as:

 

set compname_test [comphandle GetLabel]

 

 

and once you know which component handle matches the one you want, you can get the ID number using

 

comphandle GetComponentID
