Hypermesh using Variables and arrays in Template

Hi,

I wonder if we can use variables in a custom template for FE out, beneath a small example.

How does one set the variable properly? set $Variable = 22, in the output the last column is 0.

second issue: I want to write the element and node amount to the file, I know that the 'elements' and 'nodes' returns a array:

elements

The list of elements contained in the component (entity array).  Valid for hm_getvalue query only.

from the

HyperWorks Desktop Reference Guides Overview > HyperMesh Reference Guide > Data Names:

how to get theirs size and write it down?

  *components('','')  *before() *string('#components') *end() set $Variable = 22 *format() *fieldright(integer,id,8) *string(' ') *fieldright(integer,elements,8) *string(' ') *fieldright(integer,nodes,8) *string(' ') *fieldright(integer,$Variable,8) *end() *output()
