Isolate 2D elements using TCL command

Altair Forum User

Hello All,

I am using Ansys profile in Hypermesh and want to isolate all the Shell Element (2D Element) using TCL command, can you please let me know how we can isolate only 2D elements using TCL command.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

try this way:
 

 proc Isolate2D {{opt all}} {    *displaynone    *createmark elems 1 $opt    *createmark elems 2 'by config' tria3 quad4    *markintersection elems 1 elems 2    if {[hm_marklength elems 1]} {*findmark elems 1 0 1 elems 0 2}    *clearmark elems 1    *clearmark elems 2 } Isolate2D

For the abaqus profile, same code can be used for isolate 2D?
