Hello , Good Morning everyone

 

I am trying to prepare a script which will

1.go through geometry detect all holes

2. detect for co linear holes 2 or more, note center nodes

3. create a spider with hole and center node and beam between two hole center

 

Right now I am able to achieve 1st and 3rd step but not able resolve second step

 

Any one have any suggestion for this?

 

Thank you

    I think hm_detecthole module can do it. It returns center and axis vector of holes which you can compare to find matches

    Did you try these commands? 

    Looking for them in reference guide (v14 or higher)
