Script: name for bolts

Alex.01

Hi all,

 

I want to do an script which makes this:

I have a model with a lot of bolts which are formed for 4 or 5 bar2 elements. I want to do an script which groupes each bolt (with its bar2 elements) and generates a tag or name for it (i.e. Bolt 1, Bolt 1001). The input would be 1 bar2 element, and I think I could do it by using *findmark command but I don't know how to carry on.

Do you have any ideas to help me ?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Alex

Can you take a photo to shows what you had, and another that shows what you want?

I can't understand your description

Hi tinh, thanks for your answer but finally I could do the script.

Anyway, what I had was this (bolt made with several 1d elements):

 

And what I wanted was this (a tag with a ID for the bolt, i.e.5003) :

 

But as I said before I could develop de script.

You can delete this topic if you want considering it doesn't contribute to the forum.

Many thanks.

Hi, It's good

so you will input 1 bar elem, and then use *findmark to find attached bar elems to group them?

you also can use *createmark with option 'by attached'.
