Hello all,

I need a help regarding Matrixbrowser. I am not able to get the area of the surfaces in Matrixbrowser. I see that area can be calculated only based on elements. Any inputs or alternative options available on this. Please help me.

 

Thanks and regards,

Punith

    because surfaces do not have data name 'area', so you must calculate it.

    populate a column with data name 'surfaces'

    create a user data with type 'procedure' and calculate area as:

      

     set col_data {}  foreach surf_list [::MatrixBrowser::getColumn surfaces] {      set area 0      foreach surf_id $surf_list {set area [expr $area+[hm_getareaofsurface surfs $surf_id]]}      lappend col_data $area  }  return $col_data
