Hi Mario,

I Appreciate your help. Thanks. But it is not working. Below is what i tried as per your advice.

*createmarkpanel comps 1 'Please enter component';
set E [hm_getmark comps 1]
hm_getentityvalue comps $E material.id 0 -byid

I have a material with id 1 assigned to this component.

Thank you,

Hi,

if it doesn't work, then take the detour via property number. I have checked it, it's working...

*createmarkpanel comps 1 'Please enter component...'
set comp_number [hm_getmark comps 1]
*clearmark comps 1
set prop_number [hm_getentityvalue comps $comp_number 'property.id' 0 -byid];
set mat_number [hm_getentityvalue props $prop_number 'material.id' 0 -byid];
tk_messageBox -message 'CompNb: $comp_number -- PropNb: $prop_number -- MatNb: $mat_number'

Hi Prasad,

To  get the material id from TCL Tk code is different based on solvers.  If you use PamCrash profile you can directly get it like

hm_getentityvalue comps 12 material.id 0 -byid

But if you are using nastran profile then

*createmarkpanel comps 1 'Please enter component...'
set comp_number [hm_getmark comps 1]
*clearmark comps 1
set prop_number [hm_getentityvalue comps $comp_number 'property.id' 0 -byid];
set mat_number [hm_getentityvalue props $prop_number 'material.id' 0 -byid];
tk_messageBox -message 'CompNb: $comp_number -- PropNb: $prop_number -- MatNb: $mat_number' is best.

Which is given by Mario..
