I have lot of (meshed) components. I want to create a tcl script loop where each components is taken, if they have different faces split them based on attached faces option and put them into new components. Is this possible?
It is a crucial for the automation I am currently trying.

    sounds pretty feasible, but more details and pictures/examples should be given.

    Thanks for the quick response. I want to separate these faces into different components autmatically. Is this possible?

    Currently they are all in the same components

    Hi Shetty,

     

    The easiest way is to create a loop, inside this loop there will be:

    1° Create the component.

    2° Use organize-surfaces (this part will be manual, you'll need to select the surface).

    3° Link the created component to the destination (remember to include associated elements in the code).

     

    For it be 100% automatic, it's more difficult because you need a reference to organize each surface, such as a specific name for each surface.

     

    Best regards!
