hm_getmarkarray

Returns a list of lists containing template/data name values for all entities on a mark.

Syntax

hm_getmarkarray entity_type mark_id data_name

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

This command returns a list of lists containing template/data name values for all entities on a mark.

If one or more entities on mark_id are not valid for the queried data_name, the command will still complete but will post an error to the status bar. The values returned from this command are the same as those retuned individually by hm_getentityarray.

The order in which the values are returned is the same as the order of the entities on the mark, which can be obtained using hm_getmark.entity_type

Inputs

entity_type: The type of entity to query. See for the complete list of valid types.
mark_id: The ID of the mark. Valid values are 1 and 2.
data_name: The type of list being requested for the specified entity_type.
