Why Element IDs are zeros?

netsonicyxf opened this issue · comments

Hi @netsonicyxf, apologies for the late reply.

The IDs in all objects (Sections, Prop2d/3d, Nodes, Elements, Members, etc) works like this:

  • If the hasn’t been part of an assembled model yet the ID will be zero
  • After assembling the model the objects (coming out of the model with for instance GetGeometry component) will have been given an ID automatically by GSA
  • You can set the ID to overwrite existing objects in a model
  • Objects with ID = 0 will always be appended to the model.
