Hello All,

 

I am trying to create rigid elems for a spesific shell component with holes on it. 

 

In documentation I have discovered *finholesinit tcl command. However I can not obtain line number also I can not define center of circle using tcl automatically. 

 

How can I achieve this problem?

    Hello Tinh!

     

    I have checked the reference guide but I could not find a command as;

    '

    hm_holedetectioninit

    hm_holedetectionsetentities elems 1

    hm_holedetectionsetholeparams hole_shape=31

    hm_holedetectionfindholes 1

     

    '

     

    Can you share if you have a document about these commands?

    Hi

    Please upgrade your hm to v14

    In hm 13, the commands are not official released, args are different from v14

    Hi,

    This script may also help you, which allows the user to select comps that have holes in it, select a search tolerance, and it will then find all of the holes within those tolerances and then automatically create spiders in each of those holes.

    You can download the script from: https://connect.altair.com/CP/script-list.html
