Hypermesh scripting: How to get 2d element area
Writing a code and I would like get the area of a 2d shell element component.
My command currently looks like...
*createmark elements "by comp id" 10000002
set area [ hm_get***** ]
Am struggling with the hm_get aspect. Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks, alas I keep getting a zero as a response... it's not signalled an error so I think we're on the right path but it's not returned the area.

Something like below should work.
set area [hm_getvalue elements id=10000002 dataname=area]
or, if it is a list os elements
set elems_list {1 2 3 4}
set area_list [hm_getvalue elements user_ids=$elems_list dataname=area]
