Python API Support for collecting entity list

Thirukumaran

Greetings,

I would like to identify the element configurations & element types present in a particular component. I identified a python API based command as follows:
     

_, elembycomp = model.hm_entityincollector_byname(          collector=ent.Component,          collector_name="compname",          entity_type=ent.Element,          config_num=0,          type_num=0     )

From the above command, I would like to distinguish between the configs and types. Requesting relevant python commands to retrieve based on my objective. How do I store the collected entities in specific lists and where do i find the required list of config_num & type_num that can be matched later on?

Requesting your suggestions & answers.

Regards,

Hello,

To retrieve the list of available types for a given configuration name and entity type, you can use the following functions from the HyperMesh Python API Documentation:

• Model.hm_entityinfo_configtypes — HyperMesh Python API 2026.0 documentation
• Model.hm_entityinfo_configtypeids — HyperMesh Python API 2026.0 documentation

These functions return the valid element types associated with the specified configuration.

You can then obtain detailed information for each element type and its corresponding configuration values by inspecting the elements subcases.

Best regards,

Maria
