Syntax
hm_getentityarray entity_type entity_name_or_id data_name ?search_type?
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query
Description
This command returns a list containing template/data name values for a single entity.
Inputs

- search_type
- By default, HyperMesh searches for entities by name, and if the name is not found, it then searches by ID. This option allows you to specify how the search for an entity should be conducted. Valid values are:
Examples
To get the list of nodes belonging to node set set1:
hm_getentityarray sets set1 nodesTo get the list of optimization responses in bag ossetup1:

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To
detect errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
