Select elements by configuration

What is tcl command to select elements by configuration (Especially Free Edges(PLOTEL))?
Thanks.

Hi @sanket_patil,
I think it should be work fine, other options are following.
*createmark elems 1 'by config' 2;
or
*createmark elems 1 'by comp name' ^edges
Thanks,

Hi,
How to find only CBAR or CBEAM elements out of the displayed elements?
Ï tried with,
*createmark elems 2 'displayed'
*createmark elems 1 'by config type' 1 bar2
It is providing both CBAR and CBEAM elements. I wan to find only CBAR/CBEAM
Thanks

Thanks for quick Help.
I tried
*createmark elems 1 'by config type' bar2 this command but it is giving wrong output. It is giving CONMASS elements instead of CBEAM/CBAR.
Can you give another solution?
Regards,
Sanket

Hi,
I am trying to find the configuration of a selected set of entities using tcl. Are there any commands built for this?
thanks in advance,
Akhil


usually you can accomplish this by using the 'hm_getvalue' command for many datanames available in HM.
Take a look at the documentation for this command and also the documentation for 'datanames' to check all the datanames that can be queried for each entity.
example:
hm_getvalue elems id=10000 dataname=config
hm_getvalue elems id=10000 dataname=configname
Hello sanket_patil,
Try to use the following:
*createmark elems 1 'by config' plot
Best Regards,
