Hello,

I am trying to fetch the material and thickness of components in Hyperview but no success.

To get these details in HM we use "hm_getvalue components id=$comp dataname=material.name".

But how do we achieve this in Hyperview?

And after getting these details, I want to add a note in Hyperview with a fetched value.

Thank you in advance.

HyperView is mainly intedend for post-processing, and we did not introduced fe model reader complete capabilities inside HyperView.

It is possible in some cases, especially for computing safety factors, to add some information in a given file:

In the more recent versions, we even recommend to switch to Certification instead:

Fotr your case, which is about exposing a matterial/property attricute, I see 2 options:

- have a side window/page with a HyperMesh client and the model loaded, for which you can extract the attributes of interest

- do the post-processing from HyperMesh Post ribbon

Hopes this helps,

Michael
