struct.maxid

Syntax

i = struct.maxid()

Get the maximum component-ID number assigned to any structural element in this model. The next element created will be assigned this value plus one.

Note

Unlike other objects in FLAC3D, ID numbers for structural objects (elements, links, and nodes) refer to collections of elements and associated objects created together and representing a single overall structure. For structural objects, the unique internally assigned ID number associated with the object is called the component-ID number. See the struct.id.component function.

Returns:i - maximum component-ID number of any structural element in the model.
