Finding the Component Name for Deleted Element by Tcl/Tk Code

Finding the component name for deleted element :

Aim :

• To find the component name for the deleted element.

Procedure :

• Open any model in the hypermesh and write a code to find the component name for the deleted element.
• Here I have opened the hood model in hypermesh, Which is shown in below Figure 1.

• Now isolate the hinge component and drag the command window from below, Which is shown in below Figure 2.

• Now write a code *createmarkpanel elements 1 -Which allows us to interactively select entities from a command file.Which is shown in below Figure 3.         

• Select the elements to store it in a variable and hit on proceed, Which is shown in below Figure 4.

• set a [hm_getvalue elements mark=1 dataname=component.name]-Queries data names, attributes, and metadata on entities. It will return the value of any type of data name, attribute, or metadata of an entity. In addition, this command will also return the value at a specific index for array type of data names, attributes, and metadata.
• Write a code set a [hm_getvalue elements mark=1 dataname=component.name].Which will store the selected elements in varaiable a and return the component name of the selected elements.

• Now write a command *deletemark elements 1-Which will delete the selected elements, Which is shown in below Figure 6.

• Now write a code puts $a-to print the deleted elements component name,Which is shown in below Figure 7.

[*createmarkpanel elements 1
set a [hm_getvalue elements mark=1 dataname=component.name]
*deletemark elements 1
puts $a]
