Within Abaqus, I have been trying to use "getByBoundingBox" to select edges in a cae model. Unfortunately, it looks like the edges being selected need to be located completely inside of the bounding box being defined in the command. I tried a few tests, on simple parts with various edge locations and bounding box sizes, and I seem to have supported this theory. When I searched through the documentation, it only shows the "getByBoundingBox" command having 6 inputs (x,y,z min and max) and no option to specify if the geometry should be fully enclosed in the box or not. I know there is a selection in the cae environment to change how the user selects items with the mouse, but have been unable to find a scripting method to mimic the option which selects edges that only cross the selection box. Does anyone know of another option or method for selecting edges? I know "findAt" exists, and have used that in other places, but I do not want to include a significant number of lines of code and complexity to select each edge (>120 edges). Thanks for the help!
