yes, it is the same.

Run the entity_attribute_table.tcl to get the datanames associated to any entity in HM.

what solver are you using?

If you're suing OptiStruct, and CBUSH, you could use something like

hm_getvalue elements id=$elem_id dataname=CBCID

Usually I take one of the entities in my model, and I run the attached script from the installation.

With this script, you pick one entity of your model, and it will show the datanames specific to the solver, that you can call from the hm_getvalue command.

entity_attribute_table.tcl

For other basic values you could use the basic datanames:

% hm_getvalue elems id=2 dataname=collector

% hm_getvalue elems id=2 dataname=collector.name

CBUSH1D

% hm_getvalue elems id=2 dataname=node1

% hm_getvalue elems id=2 dataname=node2

% hm_getvalue elems id=2 dataname=property.id

% hm_getvalue elems id=2 dataname=property.name
