TCL code to select SURF/SET element edges

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to automate the SURF/SET element edge selection for a mesh refinement study. In the GUI, three steps are required as shown below:

This generates the following TCL code:

*createentity sets cardimage=SURF name="set1"
*addedgesorfaces sets id=1 reversenormal=1 "user_ids={5 1 6 2 }" "edge_indices={{3} {3} {3} {3} }"
*setvalue sets id=1 STATUS=2 3150=0

 

For a slightly finer mesh, only the second line is different;

*addedgesorfaces sets id=1 reversenormal=1 "user_ids={30 31 27 37 10 9 33 3 4 6 36 }" "edge_indices={{1} {1} {3} {1} {1} {1} {3} {1} {1} {3} {1} }"

 

My question:

How can I automate in TCL the selection of both "user_ids" and "edge_indices"? I tried to use line #7 (inner contour line) but this is where I am stuck. Attached is the model.
