Description

Appends a mark with entities of the given type that match a defined pattern of identifying information.

Inputs

EntityType
The type of entities to add to the mark. See details below for different entities supported.
SolverNumber
A unique number for each solver that HyperMesh interfaces with:
  • 70 - ACTRAN
  • 2 - Abaqus
  • 8 - ANSYS
  • 4 - Autodv
  • 10 - Deform
  • 1 - Dytran
  • 9 - LS-DYNA3D

markID
The mark ID to which the entities found by this command will be appended.
Valid values are 1 and 2.
Arg1, Arg2, …
Various arguments that vary based on entity type.
For each entity, the attribute # in the solver template and its value need to be defined in pair. Refer to the Templates section of the Reference Guide to learn more about attributes and their values.

Examples

To add all the properties that use the Nastran PBUSH card:
*createmark props 1
*appendmarksolverdata(props, 1, 1, 857,  All)

Here the Property entities ("props") that use Nastran (solver "1") attribute ID 857 (from the ARG. Table) set to any value, are added to the mark.

To add all the LS-DYNASingle_surface_contacts to the mark:
*createmark props 1
*appendmarksolverdata(groups, 9, 1, 3, 1, 2389, 0, 97, 1, 4733, 0)

For example, you can use this command to create a mark containing all the components in the model that use the LS-DYNA *PART_INTERTIA card image.
