How to get the area, inertia and torsion properties of cbar elements using the tcl/tk script.
Hello @brahmadev
It's up to which UserProfile are you using...
If you are using OptiStruct profile, you can get the data with follwoing commands.
AREA : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSecA.results_area; Inertia 1a : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSecA.results_Icentroid1; Inertia 2a : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSecA.results_Icentroid0; Inertia 12a : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSecA.results_Icentroid2; Torsion : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSecA.results_J; Note: id= have to chage to your actual model's element ID.
Thanks, Imoto
hello imoto san
I am using nastran user profile.how would the syntax differs in that profile.
thanks

Fortunately OptiStruct and Nastran profile almost same:-) I guess you can get the data with last posted commands.
Sorry I found my misstake, you are asking about CBAR, but I was consider about CBEAM.
For the CBAR, the attribute name is little bit changed.
Following commands should be works fine for CBAR on OptiStruct and Nastran profiles.
AREA : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSec.results_area; Inertia 1a : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSec.results_Icentroid1; Inertia 2a : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSec.results_Icentroid0; Inertia 12a : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSec.results_Icentroid2; Torsion : hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=property.BeamSec.results_J;
Thanks,

Thank you imoto san
Above commands are working to find area,inertia and torsion
