Selecting only 3D elements

JaNo

Hi, how can I select only 3D elements via tcl script? I tried *createmark , but the only possible option is "by config" choosing specific element types. I want to do it for all solid elements.

i don't have a direct command for that, but running the command you've mentioned, you could use multiple config codes.

For 2D, i.e:

*createmark elems 1 "by config" 103 104 105 ...

 

For 3D, i.e:

*createmark elems 1 "by config" 203 204 205 206 207 208 ...

 

Each of these codes represent a certain element type, extracted from the documentation, under 'Data Names'.

Thanks Documentation is so unreadable for me Can you hint to me on how to get node coordinate, I found the command hm_getentityvalue but I can find no explanation of it in the documentation. Could you help me?

Any hints how to learn hm scripting? There are not many resources.
