How to create a simple loop?

Altair Forum User

I would like to create a simple loop however I'm not very good in programing... My script is like this but instead of '...' I would like to create a loop which would work till I press return or escape. Is there any simple method?

*createbutton(5, 'Triad', 18, 0, 4, BUTTON, 'Create Triad', 'macroTriad')

*beginmacro(macroTriad) <cr>

*createlistpanel(nodes,1,'Select nodes') <cr>

*createelement(103,1,1,1) <cr>

...

*createlistpanel(nodes,1,'Select nodes') <cr>

*createelement(103,1,1,1) <cr>

*endmacro() <cr>

Kind regards,

Lukasz

Hi,

I don't understand what you want exactly, a simple loop looks like this ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*createmarkpanel elements 1 'Select elements ...'

set element_mark [hm_getmark elements 1]

foreach eid $element_mark {

tk_messageBox -message 'Element : $eid'

}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

set stop 0

while {$stop == 0} {

# your code here

set stop 1

}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi

Use while loop:

Condition is 'remain emptied assem' use *EntityPreviewEmpty and hm_marklength to check that condition

 

Body is 'delete them' , use *deletemark

If you don't know how to make script I recommend you to learn tcl programming first, not to make tons of questions.

Tcl is easy.
