Display element properties

Burner2k

Hi,

Is there a tool to display different properties associated to an element like CBUSH? For example, I updated a bunch of CBUSH elements with new orientation (referenced to a custom system/coord) but I want to review the elements to make sure they have the right systems associated with them. I can't seem to find a way to do that in HW/HM. Property info is not important (I can make it out via color coding) but a summary display like associated oriented system/vector along with property info would be nice.

Hi, I have the same question. I have several CBUSH elements ans several Bush properties. I'd like to see the associated properties. When I click on review, I only get this :

So there is no property information. Can I get both element and associated property?

Thank you

I see it is written in the window when you click on review. So if I want to check the bush properties I have to check each element ?

Hi Alina,

Can you try with the property table in Utility Menu, which displays properties and their associated attributes in an interactive table.

Select the required properties form the table, right click, select display>>only selection which will display those elements with the selected property.

Or switch selection type to 'property' then use entity selector to click on cbush element:

Hello,

I have included an image captured from MSC Patran where I have selected the middle bar element (highlighted in pink towards the center of the image) and right click followed by 'Show Elements Attributes'. The bottom panel will pop-up. If I click on the Property Set name (in this case Fasteners), the 2nd window 'Show Element Properties' pop-ups which gives me info such as Bush Orientation Coord etc.

 

Problem in HM is that Bush Orientation for CBUSH is defined during element creation and not in property. So question is how do I retrieve such information in HM when even 1D->Update->Review command fails to provide it?

Enter card edit panel and select cbush elems then click edit card to see their properties
