Hi Shiu Comp,

 I didn't understand your intention with this code, but I fixed it according to your question.

1° I made a loop, created a set for the name, and a component using that set.

2° Created a mark on this component to know with which ID it was created.

3° Using the ID that I stored in "comps_id", I updated it to match the current value of count, "i".

 

I don't see much use for this since the ID will always be the match the one that would be created normally.

 

Just an example:

Best regard,

Flauzino, C.

Since I am a beginner and don't have a deep understanding of the commands, I modify based on the log generated by command1. What I originally wanted was to automatically create components and change their ID numbers.

"Sorry, something funny happened. I originally tested the following syntax, and it didn't work:

*createentity comps id=40 name="component4"

But now when I tested it again, it worked. I can now create a component and customize its ID at the same time."

I started the same way, it's a good start!

I recommend using this page from Altair: https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hwd/topics/chapter_heads/tcl_modify_commands.htm

It helps a lot as well!
