To create a shortcut key "e" that deletes all the elements in the model, enter the following commands in the command field next to the key "E":
*createmark elements 1 "all"; *deletemark elements 1;
To create a shortcut key "L" that accesses the Lines panel, enter the following in the command field next to the key "L":
hm_pushpanel ;
To create a shortcut key "J" that runs a macro to find all the elements with jacobian < 0.7: this macro already exists in the QA page of the Utility menu. To call the same macro, enter the following in the command field next to the key "J":
*evaltclstring "macroElementJacobian 0.7" 0
To create a shortcut key <SHIFT + K> that runs a macro to check whether any beam/bar elements exist in the model and display them only:
1. | Create a findbeams.tcl file with following commands: |
Proc displayonlybeams {}
*createmark elements 2 "by config" 60 63
set beams [hm_getmark elements 2]
*clearmark elements 2
if { ![Null beams]}
*displaycollectorwithfilter comps "none" "" 1 1;
eval *createmark elements 1 $beams;
*findmark elements 1 0 1 elements 0 2;
} else {
hm_usermessage "No beam elements in this model"
}
}
2. | In the Key-Command Mappings window, select shift from the Shortcut Key pull-down menu. |
3. | Enter the following in the command field next to the key <K>. |
*evaltclstring displayonlybeams
4. | In the File field, click the "…" button to browse to and select the findbeams.tcl file. |
