Python Command for Abaqus getSequenceFromMask

[RGX124]

Hi,

I am trying to understand the Abaqus-Python keyword "getSequenceFromMask" that I obtained in a python macro from CAE.
The manual is not helping a lot.
Ex:
cells3 = c3.getSequenceFromMask(mask=('[#3f ]', ), )

Can someone help me to undertand the argument mask=('[#3f ]', ), ?

Thanks for the help

masks are used so that the output in .rpy is less cluttered
use this command:

session.journalOptions.setValues(replayGeometry=COORDINATE, recoverGeometry=COORDINATE)

and and the output will use findAt and coordinates.

Where do I have to put the command
session.journalOptions.setValues(replayGeometry=COORDINATE, recoverGeometry=COORDINATE)
??

Can I replace directly in the Python file the getSequenceFromMask(mask=('[#3f ]', ), ) with something else or do I have to rebuild the macro from CAE?

Thanks
