Hi all,

 

I would like to get elements from one component and only one side attached to certain nodes selected. I am able to get elements from one component (with *findmark and hm_getentityinfo commands), but I don't know how to get only elements from one side... Is it possible?

 

This is the input:

I want this output (I show two views of the same model):

    Why do you need it?

    Hi tinh,

     

    I want to do a free body cut with an external script and it needs this info.
    Maybe it's so complicated that it's not worth thinking about how to do it.

    It's not so complicated. I just wonder why do you need a free body cut?
