About "hm_getvalue" to get "Metadata"

Mai Moritaka_21366

I have a quiestion about "hm_getvalue" to get metadata-value. (using HyperMesh 2019.1)

I want to get metadataValue "Number of sheets welded" in point metadata.

At first. I cannot get the data.

But after doing "reference" point component in model-view and "select point" in reference-view, I can get Value.

If you know, tell me why such a things happen. or better way to get metadata value.

 

tcl Program for test is below.

*createmarkpanel points 1  set pointID [hm_getmark points 1 id] foreach poID $pointID { 	if {[catch {set weld [hm_getvalue points id=$poID dataname={Number of sheets welded}]}]} { 		set weld 0 	} 	puts "$poID $weld" } 

Thanks for reading.

Seems very strange that you would get the value after doing reference.

You can try using metadata_value=<metadata_name> instead of dataname=<data name or attribute name/ID>.

Like this.

*createmarkpanel points 1  set pointID [hm_getmark points 1 id] foreach poID $pointID { 	if {[catch {set weld [hm_getvalue points id=$poID metadata_value={Number of sheets welded}]}]} { 		set weld 0 	} 	puts "$poID $weld" }
