BUGS in HyperWorks TCL commands

tinh

I encountered a bug in hyperworks tcl command

 

Client                          Version                          Command                                                             Bug Information

Hypermesh                12                                   *findmark elems 1 1 1 elems 0 2                        this command did not add elems of mark 1 to mark 2

it works for me... the findmark function will return the attached elements to the provided elements. If you need the original elems, append them to the mark.

 set elemIds <list with given elems>
  
 hm_createmark elements 1  $elemIds;
 *findmark elements 1 1 1 elements 0 2;
 hm_appendmark elems 2 $elemIds
 set elemList [ hm_getmark elems 2 ];
 puts $elemList;

Remember that the list contains the HM elems ids, not the solver elems ids. To get the solver ids use:

 hm_getsolverid2 elems $elemIds
