Hey,

How can i select many (around 100 000) elements by Id in Hypermesh? If i insert a list in the field to input element Ids it always fails.

I want to do an topology optimization in Optistruct in two iterations. First I want to do the optimization without an Maxdim value, use the result to change the designspace and in an second step do an topology optimization with a Maxdim value. I do this because I want to have the Maxdim value in only certain parts of the designspace.

I exported a list of element Ids from Hyperview witch I want to change from Design to Nonedesignspace for the second Iteration. Now my question is how I can select many (about 100 000) elements by ID.

Thank you for helping!

Max

    Define your element SET with these ID. And you can play with this SET later.

    If you want an idea about Tcl script, here's a example:

    *createmark elements 1 1061 1075 1077 1079 1083 1239 1240 *entitysetcreate "E1" elements 1
