ScalarID

Creates a scalar value table from entity IDs.

Inputs

src
An entity table.
system
Reference, analysis, or null (default = “null”).
Important: This input is only valid only if the src table is nodal.

Outputs

answer
A scalar table containing the IDs attached to the entities in src.

Comments

  • It is necessary to use ScalarID in conjunction with binding change operators to visualize property or material IDs.
  • To create scalars of nodal reference system IDs, set system to ‘reference’.
  • To create scalars of nodal analysis system IDs, set system to ‘analysis’.
  • To create scalars of nodal IDs, leave system unset or specify ‘null’.
  • In the case when processing material or property IDs for composites, it is necessary to inherit the layer list from a model table that contains layer data (for example, inherit=”PCOMP_THETA” with Nastran) on the dataset.
