How can I get the element type name for each element of a component in Hypermesh using TCL?

when I  use hm_getconfigtypeincol comps elems $compname -byname. I am getting 21,6. How do I get CBUSH from those values?

    Hi,

       hm_getcardimagename is only working for property and not for elements.

    oh, unlucky!

     

    you can try this, hoping it always returns solver name by ordered type

     

    lindex [hm_entityinfo configtypes elems spring] 6

     

    21 is config of spring and 6 is a solver type of spring
