What is updated command for *materialupdate in latest HyperMesh 2021 version?

Akshay Manthekar

Hi Guys,

I want to know how to update material for property using tcl command.

In hm 2017 I used this: *materialupdate properties 1 "$mat_name"

I know that *materialupdate is deprecated and now we use *setvalue.

Does anyone has idea how should I write it in updated version?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank You!

The following should work for you:

*setvalue prop mark=1 materialid=[hm_getvalue mat name="$mat_name" dataname=id]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your response.

When I used the above command, it is giving error like:

hm_getvalue : Requires 3 parameters

In documentation of hm_getvalue, only 2 parameters are needed and others are optional.

Can you help?

My code look like this:

My code look like this:

There is a space between mat and name (not an underscore) so like below the three parameters are material(entity type), name=$mat_name(how you are identifying the desired entity) and dataname=id(what you want).

hm_getvalue material name=$mat_name dataname=id
