How to count number of elements attached to each material?

MSelim

Hi,

 

I have a model with multiple components that shares several materials/properties. I want to know the number of elements associated to each material/property within each component. For example, one component is made of 100 elements which are assigned to 22 different materials. I want to know how many elements within Mat1, Mat2, Mat3, etc. 

 

Right now I am doing this manually by isolating each material and counting displayed elements. But this takes long time and very tedious. Is it possible to automate this task by writing a TCL script or exporting a custom output file?

 

It would be very nice if I can get something like:

                        Mat1         Mat2        Mat3      Mat4      Matx

Component1    10              9               50           0            XX

Component1    15              55              4            22          YY

 

 

Thanks,

In your case, maybe it's better to organize one material for each component.
