hm_getactiveplotcontrolvalues

Queries the result values on entities for the active plot control.

Syntax

hm_getactiveplotcontrolvalues plot_type entity_type sel_mode entity_id_or_mark_id

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Queries the result values for the active plot control. There can be only one active plot control for every plot type.

plot_type: The type of plot for which the result values are queried. Valid values are contour, vector, tensor, and marker.
entity_type: The entity type for which the values are queried. The valid values are nodes, elements, and components.
sel_mode: The selection mode. Valid values are “byid” or “bymark”.
entity_id_or_mark_id: The entity ID or the mark ID containing the entities to query. If the entity_type is component and the sel_mode is “bymark”, then the mark should contain only one component and the command returns the min/max values of that component.

To query the nodal contour value on node 278:

hm_getactiveplotcontrolvalues contour node byid 278

To query nodal contour values for all the nodes:

*createmark nodes 1 all
hm_getactiveplotcontrolvalues contour node bymark 1

To query elemental contour value on element 154:

hm_getactiveplotcontrolvalues contour elements byid 154

To query nodal vector values on node 163:

hm_getactiveplotcontrolvalues vector node byid 163

To query element tensor values on element 376:

hm_getactiveplotcontrolvalues tensor elements byid 376

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
