How to measure the volume of all components

Altair Forum User

I have a model with several (CAD) solid components, no mesh yet. I want to measure the volume of all the components with a TCL script. Can someone help me with this?

 

There's a previous topic (How to measure volume,area and mass using tcl) asking how to measure the volume with a component with TCL, with this as one of the answers for just one component:

 *createmark comps 1 $compid hm_volume comps 1

 And on another topic I fond how to iterate thru all components:

 *createmark comps 1 all set comp_list [hm_getmark comps 1] foreach comp $comp_list {    # do something here    puts 'Comp= $comp' }

 

However I dont know how to combine both instructions to get the volume of all components.

 

Thanks

Just replace :

 

 *createmark comps 1 $compid

by:

 

 *createmark comps 1 'all'

Ok, I figured it out:

 

 *createmark solids 1 all set solid_list [hm_getmark solids 1] foreach solid $solid_list {    *createmark solids 1 $solid    set vol [hm_getvolumeofsolid solid $solid]    puts '$vol' }
