How yo retrive node id from a particular selected node in Python Hypermesh 2024

amit_gudi

In my script, I need to position components and require a node ID from a collection. The output from the collection is of type hwreturnstatus. How can I retrieve the node ID from this output? Alternatively, is there a different method available to fetch the node ID?

Hello @amit_gudi ,

there are 2 ways of proceeding:

you can grab a single entity from the collection and ask for the ID:

list(col)[0].id

 

or turn a collection into a list of IDs:

[e.id for e in col]

Hope that helps,

Michael
