FEMAP API element ID
FEMAP API element ID
(OP)
Does anyone know how to find the element ID of the element that contains a coordinate position (point) in the global coordinate system? This needs to be done from a FEMAP API.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: FEMAP API element ID
- Find the set of beams for which Xp is within the range X1 to X2.
- From that set find the set for which Yp is within the range Y1 to Y2.
- From that set find the set for which Zp is within the range Z1 to Z2.
Find the beam from that set for which the angle (X1,Y1,Z1)(Xp,Yp,Zp)(X2,Y2,Z2) is equal to 180 degrees, within a suitable tolerance.
That's the beam you want.
