    Hello mahes,

     

    The below comment should give you the cardimage of a property.

    hm_getvalue props id=1 dataname=cardimage

    hi Livillyle,

    Thanks for replying

    I think this command will fetch the 'SECTYPE'

    I need the value below that as 'SHELL' or 'BEAM'

     

     

    Thanks,

    Mahes

    Hello Mahes,

    I tried recreating the property with user profile as Ansys and checked the command.tcl (which gets saved in the working directory or in Documents by default) to get an idea of what Ids are being used.
