Obtain the area and perimeter of geometry in Hypermesh

hi,
I think u can use Tools>Mass Calc.
There by selecting elements you will get area.
perimeter
geom>Length
by selecting lines you will get.

Thank you so much.
Please, how can I obtain the minimum area bounding box for a geometry in hypermesh?

Hi,
Try:
*createmark surfs 1 'Select geometry'
puts [hm_getboundingbox surfs 1 0 0 0]

Thank you.
I am using hypermesh GUI. I do not know how to do tcl scripting. Please, what is the equivalent procedure for those codes in hypermesh GUI?

Sorry Samuel,
it should be:
*createmarkpanel surfs 1 'Select geometry'
puts [hm_getboundingbox surfs 1 0 0 0]
you will be prompted to select your surfs, and it will output (at command window) bounding box
I don't know other way to get it by hm GUI

Please, find my attached geometry.
I want to implement topography optimization.
Minimum area bounding box around my model = m
perimeter of the model = p
compliance = c
f = m + p
Objective = minimize f
constraint: lower bound = 0.2*c, upper bound = 0.8*c
How can I implement this? Note that perimeter and minimum area bounding box are not included among the design responses in hypermesh.
Thank you.

Hi Samuel,
isn't the unit of P and M are different?
This makes F complicated parameter...?
I need to check if there a way to provide geometric responses in OptiStruct
