Rename all the entities in a model using TCL script.

Altair Forum User

Hello Friends,

 

I want to rename all the entities in a model with some prefix. 

 

For example:

Component Name: 51002134 to New Name: PSHELL_51002134

 

Can anyone please provide me a TCL script to do it.

Hi,

if you are using nastran or optistruct, try exporting model without 'HM comments' then import it again

Try this code:

 *createmarkpanel comps 1 'Select Component to Rename'
 set my_comps [hm_getmark comps 1]

 foreach c $my_comps {
 	set name [hm_getentityvalue comps $c name 1]
 	set new_name [format 'PSHELL_%s' $name]
 	eval *renamecollector components '$name' '$new_name'
 }

 *clearmark comps 1
