Script to Create a Set populated with Bar/Beam elements

Hi all,

 

Am trying to create a script which instantly creates a set with all the beam and bar elements in my model... this is how far I have gotten.

 


*createmark elems 1 'by config' bar2
*createentity sets cardimage=SET_ELEM name=set1
*setvalue sets id=2 ids= elems 1  {this is where I am getting it wrong}
*setvalue sets id=2 name='test'

 

I can create the set easily but it is getting the beam and bar elements into that set which is proving troublesome.

Also, is there a list of all Hypermesh TCL script commands?

 

Cheers

Andy
