    Hello Tinh,

     

     Coming back to forum after couple of months!!

    I am facing difficulty using the SetDataType command in the ContourCtrl  class of Hyperview 

    Though I can set the query to Displacement, Grid Point Stresses(Prop 1),etc but I am not able to  choose  sub options like  Mag,X,Y,Z and Von Mises ,Signed VonMises, respectively.How do I do it ?

     

    Your help is very much appreciated !!

    Thanks and Regards,

    Girish

    Yes it works !! 

     

    With respect to the Hyperview help on Tcl/TK Classes , the description on SetDataComponent is a bit misleading. It says the options can be either node,line,shell or solid.

     

    Can  you elaborate  on the following classes(with significance to displaying a contour plot) :

    1. SetDataComponent

    2.SetShellLayer

    3. SetDimensionEnabled

    Yes, hw help has some mistake while explaining functions

    I do not ever use above functions, I just guess.

    so SetDataComponent => will set component of DataType, example: DataType=Displacement, DataComponent=X

     

    it's better for you to try some values, and then look for any affect

    Hello tinh,

    Greetings !!

          I intend to read  all the labels of the entity sets available in a HyperView Model file. How should I do it ?

    I tried using GetSelectionSetHandle command, but it requires that I get the handle for each set then read the label .

    Something similar to GetSelectionSetList  will be helpful or any other method ?

     

    Regards,

    Girish

    Yes, do a loop through all sets, get handle and label of each one and append it to a list

    finally print this list of all labels
