LOADCOLLECTORS assigned to LOADSTEP

Altair Forum User

How can I get them?

documentation suggest following

set collectorList [hm_getentityvalue loadsteps 1 pointer.loadcollector.id 0]

I have no idea what the pointer should be (?)

I do also suspect that it will never give me right answer as there is more than just once loadcollector ID in my loadstep.

Any ideas how it can be done?

Cheers

Swav,

use 'getentityarray' instead of '[hm_getentityvalue'. this will return a list of the Ids of the loads in the loadstep. In the code shown, there is a loadstep named 'weigth'.

hm_getentityarray loadsteps 'weigth' loadcollectors 0 -byname
