how to get thickness of elements as a list?

Seçkin13

Hi all

I would like to get a list of thickness for selected elements.

I wrote these codes but it gives just one thickness as a result.

Could you please help me ?

*createmark elements 1 179 79 150 279 35 ...
set test [hm_getthickness elements 1]
foreach elements $test {
puts '$test'

}

Hi,

Do you want to know the range of thickness in your model? If so, Visualize the model by thickness as shown in the image below.

By doing so, you will get to see a range of thickness as shown below.

If you want to individually check element thickness, then click on F10 and pick an element.

Or, do you want to get a list of thickness in some csv format or in a notepad?

No thickness information within element dataname.

You have to look for the property of element.

Hi Seckin,

You should use the api like this:

foreach n_elemID [list 179 79 150 279] {

puts '$n_elemID : [hm_getthickness elements $n_elemID]'

}

Hi Seckin,

You should use the api like this:

foreach n_elemID [list 179 79 150 279] {

puts '$n_elemID : [hm_getthickness elements $n_elemID]'

}

If element thickness was assigned via component, not directly by element, this command returns nothing. In this case you have to call 'hm_getthickness component'
