Hi

I have a script that extracts specific field outputs from predefined element sets in my odb files. I'd like to be able to identify the material assignment of each element set that my script processes. I can't seem to find a method of identifying the element set's material assignment.

Would anyone be able to advice me on how to achieve this?

Many thanks in advance.

It is only possible to get the name of the applied section for individual elements. Navigate through assembly and instances to one element and ask for the section assignment. See Scripting Reference Manual for details.
 
Thanks for the advice. Managed to get the info I needed.

Cheers
