Hi,

is there a way to query the area of each element in a shell structure. I am e.g. using Radioss results.

Or is there maybe another way how to get to know the area of each element?

Thanks for your help.

    Hi Tom,

    Please use the below Script to calculate area of displayed elements in HyperView and write out a CSV with element ID and area of corresponding element.

    you will find this and other scripts in the altair script exchange, go to learning > script exchange from the altair university website or here http://www.altairhyperworks.com/Script-Exchange.aspx?%3ftop_nav_str=1

    you will need to log in/register with your university email id, you will need to use the log in credentials you get after registering to the client center.

    search for the script by just entering area in the keyword section with HyperView as the product.

    once you have found the script click on the download script button, once you have downloaded the script place it in a convenient location, then you need to go to file > run > tcl tk from within HyperView. make sure you have a relevant model and results loaded in HyperView when you run the script.
