GET
Gets an attribute value of an object.
Syntax
GET [Object ID] [Object attribute] [Output variable]
Command parameters
| Command parameter | Assignment | Value format | Input options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Object ID | Required | String | Local, variable |
| Object attribute | Required | Predefined strings | Local, variable |
| Output variable | Required | String | Local, variable |
Object ID:
The ID of the object.
Object IDs from the following object types are accepted:
- Structural members tab:
- Loads tab:
Object attribute:
The requested object attribute. The available selection of object attributes depends on the object type, which is automatically determined based on the given object ID. The available object attributes can be found at the detailed description of object types below.
In case we have an object ID, and don't know the type of the object it identifies, the type can also be queried with the Object_Type attribute for every accepted object type.
Further information about object attributes can be found at the CREATE and SET commands.
Output variable:
The name of the variable that will store the retrieved value of the specified attribute.
