HM_ExtAPI::ComponentGetID()
Returns the ID of a component.
Syntax
bool ComponentGetNextElement(
const HM_EntityMesh& hmesh,
const HM_EntityMeshComponent& hcomp,
int& comp_id
);Type
HyperMesh Ext API
Description
For mesh components created according to the topological components HM_Component, the returned ID is equal to the zero-based index of the corresponding topological component in the array HM_Topology::components. For auto-created mesh components (created for some cases of topology imprint errors) the returned ID is equal or larger to HM_Topology::num_components.
If the function succeeds, the return value is true. To get extended value information, call HM_ExtAPI::GetLastErrorCode().
Requires including hm_extapi.h.
Inputs
- hmesh
- [in] - Handle to mesh object that was returned by previous calls to API funcitons.
- hcomp
- [in] - Handle to mesh component object that was returned by previous calls to API functions for the mesh object referenced by hmesh.
- comp_id
- [out] - Non-negative integer ID of the component referenced by the mesh and component objects. It is assigned to -1 when there is an error.
