Get element types of a collector

Hi fellows,

I'm coding a tcl script, but got stalled because i don't know how to get which element types are in a particular collector/component.

I mean, i need a command to get the info to know the element type that have a collector.

For example, select the collector id1 and get a list with (C3D4, M3D3) if id1 has these element types.

Hi there

perhaps, hm_getconfigtypeincol will help you

Are you sure there's only ONE element type in each collector/component?

Thanks Tinh,

anyone knows about a list of the configuration types in hypermesh and its translation into Abaqus?

example:

Hypermesh                                     Abaqus

*elementype 103 4 (M3D3)   ----->  S4

Thanks Tinh,

Hi, I think your question is similar to this

Dear @drwill

I found a better method, since data name of element updated from new hm versions, you can get elem name by:

 *createmark elems 1 'by comp id' $CompId set ElemNames [hm_getmarkvalue elems 1 typename 1] set TypeList [lsort -unique $ElemNames] puts $TypeList

Tinh, definitely you are the HM wisdom
