Command to activate mesh button in Hyperworks X 2023.1

Ajay Prabhakaran

In Classic Hypermesh, we used to activate buttons using hm_pushpanel. For example to activate mesh button, we use the command "hm_pushpanel {automesh}". Similarly, how to activate mesh button in Hyperworks X version?

I am aware that hyperworks X version does not comes with Push Panel, but i am seeking help to find the command to activate the mesh button.

Hi Ajay,

You can enter the meshing context using the command below:

ctx::manager enter 2DMCSGeneral

Thanks Michal , it works for me. One more question, after activating how we can add a surface id to the selection. In the classic version, we can use *createmark surf 1 "${id}" to add the surface to selection. Here its not working. Surface selection remains null after using the api "*createmark" as you see in the image.

Hi Ajay,

You can control/interact with the context selector via ctx::selection (altair.com) and use the same options as in *createmark. In the example below I used displayed and by supplying a list of IDs.
