Script to get radii values in geometry and create beam sections based on radii.

Bhargav Panchal_20668

hi,

i had created a script that could get the values of hole radii and create a beam section for each radii. Here's the script for the same.

but i am facing the error as below 

Error:

 

Script:

*clearmarkall 1
*clearmarkall 2
*createentity beamsectcols includeid=0 name="beamsectcol1"
hm_holedetectioninit
*createmarkpanel surfaces 1
hm_holedetectionsetentities surfs 1
hm_holedetectionsetholeparams hole_shape=31 
hm_holedetectionfindholes 1
set n [hm_holedetectiongetnumberofholes]
for {set k 0} {$k < $n} {incr k} {
set r [hm_holedetectiongetholedetails $k radius]
}
set j 1
for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
set rad [lindex $r $i]
*createentity beamsects includeid=$i name="beamsection_$j"
*setvalue beamsects id=$j sectiontype=60
*setvalue beamsects id=$j beamsect_dim1=$rad
incr j
}
hm_holedetectionend

 

i do not understand as to what i am doing wrong. Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

No I am not using include files. the includeID in *createentity command is for the id of beamsectioncollector (here $bscid in above code) i have tried removing it and the code works fine but still the issue of rest of sections getting their default values instead of "hmcirc" and radius as hole radius instead of 10 persist

Also I have attached the hm file again in this post for your reference

The include id is definitely not the id of the beam section collector but the id of the include file in which you want the beam section collector and if that include file doesn't exist it just goes into the main model file. Hence the use of hm_getlatestentityid.

As far as the rest of the latest code I am still going through that but I have a version that works on my end.

*clearmarkall 1
*clearmarkall 2
*createentity beamsectcols name="beamsectcol1"
hm_holedetectioninit
*createmarkpanel surfaces 1
hm_holedetectionsetentities surfs 1
hm_holedetectionsetholeparams hole_shape=31 
hm_holedetectionfindholes 1
set n [hm_holedetectiongetnumberofholes]
puts "n: $n"
for {set i 0; set j 1} {$i < $n} {incr i; incr j} {
    *createentity beamsects name="beamsection_$j"
    *setvalue beamsects id=[hm_latestentityid beamsects] sectiontype=60
    *setvalue beamsects id=[hm_latestentityid beamsects] beamsect_dim1=[lindex [hm_holedetectiongetholedetails $i radius] 2]
}
hm_holedetectionend

I also attached a file with the code but since attachments seem to be acting strange I copied it above too.
