Tcl command that retrieves the x component of a force of ID 12 defined in the global system:<\/p>\n
\r\nset force_x [hm_getvalue loads id=12 dataname=comp1]\r\n<\/pre>\nTo retrieve the node that load 12 is applied to:<\/p>\n
\r\nset node_id [hm_getvalue loads id=12 dataname=node.id]\r\n<\/pre>\nTo retrieve the y coordinate of the node that load 12 is applied to:<\/p>\n
\r\nset node_id [hm_getvalue loads id=12 dataname=node.y]\r\n<\/pre>\nTo retrieve the load collector name that contains load 12:<\/p>\n
\r\nset loadcol_name [hm_getvalue loads id=12 dataname=collector.name]\r\n<\/pre>\nThere is no data name associated with a component collector to get the material name, only the material ID:<\/p>\n
\r\nset matID [hm_getvalue comps id=12 dataname=materialid]\r\n<\/pre>\nA second command would then be required to get the name of the material with that ID:<\/p>\n
\r\nset matName [hm_getvalue mats id=$matID dataname=name]\r\n<\/pre>\nAlternatively, the component collector has a material pointer data name. From this pointer, any valid material data name can be substituted by separating the pointer and the new data name with a period (.)<\/p>\n
\r\nset matName [hm_getvalue comps id=12 dataname=material.name]\r\n<\/pre>\nIf a command is run on a pointer without the proper specification, HyperWorks Desktop issues the error message field statement references a pointer. <\/p>\n
\r\nset matName [hm_getvalue comps id=12 dataname=material]\r\n<\/pre>\nHyperWorks Desktop can\u2019t output the correct value because material points to a material entity that has many different printable values. To print the material name, reference the pointer as “material.name”. Again, a period separates the data name material and the data name name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
