Selection of rigids from displayed only with Scripts

Hello,

I wrote a script to find the Washer elements adjacent to the rbe2. I have isolated the component by material id. But, I am facing an issue to select the rbe2 elements from displayed only. Kindly provide any clarification in the following script.

## Selection of displayed rbe2

*createmark elements 1 "by config" 55

*createmark elements 2 "by displayed"

*markintersection elements 1 elements 2

set attach_elems [hm_getmark elems 1]

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hello @Michael Hervé 

    I have tried using the "displayed" option too. It still giving out no result as per my concern.

    Could you provide any alternative solution to this issue as well please?

    Thanks.

    I can't imagine why Michael's suggestion didn't work but you could try:

    hm_createmark elements 2 "advanced" "displayed"

    The help for *createmark also states that Michael had the proper syntax:

    Hello again @Thirukumaran Subbian ,

     

    I read again your initial message, and yo want the elements attached to your rigid.

     

    So the code below only contains displayed rigid elements:

     

    *createmark elements 1 "by config" 55

    *createmark elements 2 "by displayed"

    *markintersection elements 1 elements 2

     

    If yo want to get connected elements, then you can use

    *appendmark elems 1 "by adjacent"

     

    Does that help?

     

    Best Regards,

    Michael

    That helps just fine! I needed that clarity which both of you provided. 

    Thanks @Michael Hervé and @Ben Buchanan for your inputs.
