Update Hypermesh Extensions

Hello everybody

This is a script to project nodes on elems:

< a simple script so i do not make package index & installer, you have to source it or invoke menu File>Run>Tcl/Tk Script

Capture.PNG.4a9a0bbf0f62655b19297d24ec21ee35.PNG

I made a new function for Hypermesh to export entity by right-click on model browser

Open Hypermesh, from menu File>Run>Tcl/Tk Script , browse to Installer.tcl in folder MenuExportDeck to install it in hmcustom.tcl

I made a new function for Hypermesh to copy mesh among sessions

Please announce me if any error.

- 'Extract here' package hmcp.zip, copy the folder 'hmcp' to anywhere you want to store.

- Open hypermesh and run Installer.tcl file by enter menu File>Run >Tcl/Tk Script

- start Hypermesh, it should shows an icon and provide some information like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

- You can copy elements selected in any current panel:

- Once again, this topic is to introduce extensions for Hypermesh. I let updated version of hmdnd (drag and drop function) here

<updated installer.tcl so you can install it to any folder, just open hypermesh and File>Run>Tcl/tk script to run installer.tcl>

- And a package to help making your own toolbars: tbopts.zip

Hello,

I have tried this script and works fine in hm 13 and 14 sessions.

Seems not OK when I have tried to copy some elements between hm 12 sessions 'Error while copying data'.

Is there any way to add nodes option to be copied between sessions?

I create nodes using coordinates from one session to other.

Thank you.

tinh

Hi,

yes, it is possible to copy node only, i may add this feature. But just now you can copy elements and then shift f2 > add temp nodes > delete elems

i also face problem with HM12, but should we forget it soon? higher version is better anyway

Hi @tinh,

How to make your customization toolbar appear below 'fixed point' toolbar?

(See yellow mark on attach picture)

Thank you,

Hi,

open command window and type in:

HM_Framework::p_GetMinibarIconList Display

you will see the code to add a button to the toolbar

you can create your own toolbars, But hypermesh 2017 turn to release new GUI, I think much nicer, so forget these toolbars.

Hi tinh,

I have checked this with HM 2017 and it showing the following error. How can we avoid this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hello @Udhay Rohith

Because I am using hm13, so I will check it on hm2017 and update to you soon.

Thanks @tinh for this. I am new to hypermesh and I want to learn TCL scripting for hm. Can you guide me from where I should start?

tinh

To start learning tcl scripting in hm, enter menu Help > Altair Help Home .

=> Reference Guide => Hypermesh

In Hypermesh Reference Guide, read section 'Scripts'

do some examples, and read some sample scripts in ~altair/14.0/hm/scripts

Hi,

I checked it with hm2017, there is a change in dataname so output version of copied data is incorrect

This is update package to use with HM2017:

Hi @tinh this is a great post. Thanks for sharing. You should post this content in a Blog instead of Question...you get more points in the Community by creating these nice How-To blogs.

Hi @tinh I was wondering if you are able to share the source code of your MenuExportDeck.zip file. I noticed that the source .tcl file is bytecode. I'm looking to add my own scripts to the right-click menu in the model browser and was hoping to use your MenuExportDeck as a guide.

Can you also point me in the right direction for any documentation on how to do this?

Thanks
