Writing a code and I would like get the area of a 2d shell element component.

My command currently looks like...

*createmark elements "by comp id" 10000002

set area [ hm_get***** ] 

Am struggling with the hm_get aspect. Any ideas anyone?

    Something like below should work.

     

    set area [hm_getvalue elements id=10000002 dataname=area]

    or, if it is a list os elements

    set elems_list {1 2 3 4}

    set area_list [hm_getvalue elements user_ids=$elems_list dataname=area]

    Many thanks, alas I keep getting a zero as a response... it's not signalled an error so I think we're on the right path but it's not returned the area.
