eleType

Post by gopaladhikari » Fri Sep 30, 2022 6:55 pm

Hello,

I'm wondering whether 'eleType' command is implemented for quad or similar elements?
I found it works with zerolength and line elements.

Thanks,
Gopal

Yes, eleType should work for all elements

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your quick response.

I'm using the "ShellMITC4" element. The eleType returns UnknownMovableObject and getEleClassTags returns 53.

The line element objects, namely dispBeamColumn3D and TrussSection elements work fine.

Thanks,
Gopal

I see. The method wasn't defined for the ShellMITC4 element. Should be fixed now.
