“getElementsAssociatedToNodes” returns a Group containing the list of elements associated with the nodes of the Group argument.
“getElementsAssociatedToMaterials” returns a Group containing the list of elements associated with the material(s) given as argument(s). The argument is an integer or an Array of integers corresponding to the material IDs of the elements inserted in the list.
“getElementsAssociatedToProperties” returns a Group containing the list of elements associated with the property (properties) given as argument(s). The argument is an integer or an Array of integers corresponding to the property IDs of the elements inserted in the list.
“getElementsAssociatedToPlies” returns a Group containing the list of elements associated with the ply (plies) given as argument(s). The argument is an integer or an Array of integers corresponding to the ply IDs of the elements inserted in the list. The ply Ids are the global ply identifiers referenced by PCOMPG Nastran data cards (Nastran model).
“getNodesAssociatedToElements” returns a Group containing the list of nodes associated with the elements of the Group argument.
“getNodesAssociatedToRbes” returns a Group containing the list of nodes associated with the rigid body elements of the Group argument.
