Hi,

you need TCL to do this.
TCL language manual is not included in the Hyperworks help, but can easily be reviewed e.g. at

http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/contents.htm

Usually you should rather use foreach to loop over hm entities than a counter with a for statement.

So a loop over all comps is

foreach compID [hm_complist id] {
puts "Another ID: $compID"
}

You can run the script from the GUI by files->run->tcl or
by the right most button of the standard toolbar.
If you need it in batch, you can run hmbatch / hmopengl with "-tcl SCRIPTFILE" (note this inclues a space whereas -cCOMMANDFILE won't).

Regards
Thomas

thanks for your reply
it was helpful
but actually i need to detach all element in my model and it is not possible with using GUI commands.
So i decide to use programming like ansys.
now i can use while and for command but the problem is how to detach elements within a while loop
i wrote these commands and I ran it as u said but *createmark is not tcl command

*******************
set a 1
while {$a<100} {

*createmark(elements,1) $a
*detachelements(1,0)
incr a
}
********************

To convert HM Command file commands to TCL commands, replace all the parentheses and commas with spaces:

*******************
set a 1
while {$a<100} {

*createmark elements 1 $a
*detachelements 1 0
incr a
}
*******************
