Hi,

Using Hypermesh GUI you can count no of element using Tools page:count option.

Extended entity select option provide option for selecting elements by attached element. see screenshot.

Hi Rahul,

Thanks for the reply.. Yes using GUI we can do this, but I want to implement it in a tcl script.. It's not writing anything to command.cmf file either..

Hi,

Script id 693 in Altair script exchange extract geometry summary.I hope attached tcl file would help you to get the API for same.

Hi,

using hm_count is faster

or if you want to count entity in a mark, using hm_marklength

do not use llength [hm_getmark elems 1] because it passes all entity ids into tcl interp slowly

Thanks! It worked.

EDIT: Is it possible to move elements present in mark ID 2 to mark ID 1 without affecting elements present already in mark ID 1 ? 

Dear all,

can we get different element type present in the one component by using tcl\tk script.

Like one component have two element type wiz S3 and S4. 

so can we extract the same info using tcl\tk.

@tinh pls suggest any API.

Hi Vikas

Use hm_getconfigtypeincol

From hm v13 , hm_getvalue is helpfull too.

tinh

set var [hm_getconfigtypecountincol comps elems BEAM-6_0 -byname] ;  # is returning (60 9 2)  wiz config id is confusing . 

How to get again config name by id .
