Hello sanket_patil,

Try to use the following:

*createmark elems 1 'by config' plot

Best Regards,

@MarioThanks for suggestion, It is working

Thanks,

Hi @sanket_patil,

I think it should be work fine, other options are following.

*createmark elems 1 'by config' 2;

*createmark elems 1 'by comp name' ^edges

Thanks,

Hi,

How to find only CBAR or CBEAM elements out of the displayed elements?

Ï tried with,

*createmark elems 2 'displayed'
*createmark elems 1 'by config type' 1 bar2

It is providing both CBAR and CBEAM elements. I wan to find only CBAR/CBEAM

Thanks

tinh

*createmark elems 1 'by config type' bar2 1

@tinh

Thanks for quick Help.

I tried

*createmark elems 1 'by config type' bar2 this command but it is giving wrong output. It is giving CONMASS elements instead of CBEAM/CBAR.

Can you give another solution?

Regards,

Sanket

tinh

Can you show all options of *createmark? I dont have hypermesh here.

Hi,

I tried

*createmark elems 1 'by config type' 1 bar2 {CBAR} {CBEAM} command

It worked

Thanks,

It looks incorrect but somehow it worked! Good job

Hi,

I am trying to find the configuration of a selected set of entities using tcl. Are there any commands built for this?

thanks in advance,

Akhil

usually you can accomplish this by using the 'hm_getvalue' command for many datanames available in HM.

Take a look at the documentation for this command and also the documentation for 'datanames' to check all the datanames that can be queried for each entity.

example:

hm_getvalue elems id=10000 dataname=config

hm_getvalue elems id=10000 dataname=configname
