querry Material orientation of a element TCL

Daniel Hupfer_20331

Hallo,

I am trying to get the Theta values of CQUAD4 elements in a TCL script and 

can't find a command to request the value.

I tried "hm_getvalue elems id=1 dataname=8" but it returns "0"

Does someone know the command?

What profile are you using?

For OptiStruct it would be dataname=132 or dataname=THETA.  You can check the attributes for the profile you are using with hm_attributelist.
