How to check element type using TCL commands

User: "Altair Forum User"

Dear all,

 

Could you tell me how can I obtain ANSYS element type in HyperMesh using TCL commands?

My target is to put element type name into a variable.

 

The procedure using graphical interface is following: 2D/3D -> element types -> mark element -> review. (result on the figure)

 

Is it possible to extract such information from particular element by a TCL command?
I've tried by hm_getentityvalue but got stuck on data_name format.

 

Best regards
Jakub
