How to obtain the area of components

pohan

Hi

I Hypermesh, I use Tool/Mass calc to calculate the area of some components but I could not find the command for TCL.

Could you please explain me?

Thanks

Thank you very much. By the way, do you know how to export this result to excel or text file?

Yes, please try following lines.

 

set fn [tk_getSaveFile -defaultextension csv];
set fh [open $fn w];
puts $fh 'Mass,Volume,Area';
*createmark elems 1 displayed;
lassign [hm_getmass elems 1] mass volume area;
puts $fh '${mass},${volume},${area}';
close $fh;

Thank you.

I tried this code but the elems could not be selected so I could not get the result. Could you please verify?

Thanks

It works fine, please attach your model.

 

Thanks,
