User Intraction node selection event and display external data in GUI

What do you mean 'corresponding data' of node/element? Node coordinates?

Are you familiar with the TCL programming language to start with? If not, I would suggest to start to read some documentation on the TCL website: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/tcltutorial.html

All hypermesh commands can be found in the Hypermesh reference guide (in hypermesh go to help => Hyperworks help home) in section scripts. It's just a very long list (divided into 4 parts) and no clear explanation when to use what command, so just go through the list and see what you need.  Or use search.

In your case you will need the *createmarkpanel (to enable user to select a node) and hm_getvalue (to get the data you need, check under 'data names' what data can be extracting for what entity type) commands.

Nguyen, thanks for the reply.

I have a data.xlsx which is generated by another application. which is having Node ID, Node Coordinated, Element name, Stresses value , amplitude and many more details. I want to showcase these details in GUI window once user selected a particular node.

With Hypermesh, the pre-processing software, you have all these informations, but not about results (stress, displacements,...)

For results, you have to use Hyperview, the post-processing software.

Thanks Loesje for detailed information.

as you said, I will go through the help reference prior to start TCL programming.

I am more familiar with C# dot net programing, would it be help full in TCL programming.

If you knew C# , you could know C also.

Register a callback proc to hm_framework to catch user selections
