Check for Elements with No Properties Assigned

Hello,

Is there a tool/function in Hypermesh to check for elements which have no properties card assigned to them? My model has 800,000+ elements and even with displaying them with Property colors isn't helpful.

 

I have exported a CSV file from Tools->Property Manager to check for sum of elements from table vs total element count from model, but still it may not tell me which elements have no property assigned to them.

 

Edit: I just did the above and it seems like around 200+ elements are not listed in Property Manager!

 

Edit 2: OK. I have a bunch of rigid elements. I did a count of rigids and their number matches with the missing elements from Property Manager.

 

Still, I would like to know how to check for elements with missing property cards in HM.

 

Thx

    Hi,

    You can also try with the Component View option in Model Browser. If you click on PID it will organize the list with components with property and no property.

    Sorry for the late reply. Was travelling. 

     

    Thanks for the response. I actually thought of what TinH has suggested after I posted.
