Good Afternoon.
I am actually using Hypermesh 2019; there was no option for hypermesh 2019 in the drop down above.
I am attempting to obtain element information on my model on very specific intervals (see attached image for clarity). I have a model that I need to extract individual element volume bounded by the region 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 5 ≤ z ≤ 15 and the whole domain of the y-axis. The mesh that I used to generate elements already has perfectly smooth surfaces along the boundaries of this location, so I don't have to worry about only "partially" selecting an element. In generally, what I am attempting to do is to obtain two characteristic pieces of information about every element on the interval listed above. I need the Element ID, I need the Element Volume, and I need the heat flux through that element. Hypermesh can't give me flux, so I have to split the work between matrix browser in hypermesh to get volume and then I have to query heat flux in hyperview and then use MATLAB to merge the two datasets. I have two questions.
1. How do I go about selecting the elements in the Matrix Browser of Hypermesh? Is there a way to preselect a specific geometric location that is a little more exact than just clicking and dragging a window? I need this window to be exactly on the intervals mentioned above. I'm looking for the element ID and element volume.
2. Exact same question as #1, however, how do I do this in hyperview for the heat flux?
Also important to note, that I can't manually do this. I have approximately 50 models that I'll need to do this to, so I'm looking for something that is fairly automated. Don't mind allocating 5 minutes per model, but I can't spend an hour on each model.
