How to Identify the Solid ID from a Given Surface ID in HyperMesh TCL API?

asdfsdfasdfasdfasdf

I would like to ask for guidance from a senior: if I already know a surface ID, how can I trace it back to find out which solid ID it belongs to? I’d like to know if there is a related API for this.

Hi,

For this purpose, you can use the hm_getsolidsfromsurface command.

For instance, to select get solid id associated to surface 100: hm_getsolidsfromsurface 100
