As seen in the image hm_getelemcheckbounds  is returning 1.626 as the maximum value but if I measure the distance between 2 nodes it shows 7.137 . Are these 2 results not contradicting each other.

    Hello @rk2

     

    This is not defect, 'length' will return the Minimum length.

     

    You can find the longest length element with following commands.

    *createmark elems 1 displayed;
    set length [hm_getvalue elems mark=1 dataname=longestside];
    set longval [lindex [lsort -decreasing $length] 0];
    set longid [lindex [hm_getvalue elems mark=1 dataname=id] [lsearch $length $longval]];
    tk_messageBox -message 'Longest element ID = ${longid}\nLongest element value = ${longval}';

     

    Thanks,

    Imoto
