Hypermesh element thickness visualization legend

Devdutt Shende

I am looking for a way to modify the element thickness legend through tcl commands / script. I need a way to set a standard thickness legend for consistency in model review. So far the only tcl command I have found in documentation is *reset_thickness_legend

Sorry for the late response.

I tried it out in HyperWorks 2021.2 When using 

*setoption thickness_legend_colors={1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11} 

tcl return code is 1 but the colors don't show any change. Not sure if there is another option that enables/disables this. I am using discrete color mode if that helps. 

Looks like the documentation is not up to date here. I was able to get it to work with an RGB color scheme.  Something like this:

*setoption thickness_legend_colors={53 100 0 / 120 5 64 / }

I figured this out by using hm_getoption thickness_legend_option to see what it gave me and it gave it in the format above.
