Fetch the specified object(s) as an array. The array can then be looped in the normal way. When called with an ObjectSet or an array, this function acts on all the objects contained within it. When called with attributes, it acts on those objects that have an assignment to the attributes given. In each case, an additional filter can be performed by specifying the type (and optionally name(s)) of objects to be acted on.

objType	string	Name of an object type, such as "point", or "line" "Point", "Line", "Element", etc
names	string	Name(s)/ID(s) of objects or attributes. Examples are ""bob"", "Structural Support 2", "3", "1T5"
obj	object	An object to act on. Typically another ObjectSet object, or any other object derived from DatabaseMember
array	array	An array of objects derived from DatabaseMember
filterType	string	Restricts operation of this function to only objects of the type given
filterNames	string	Restricts operation of this function to only those objects whose names/IDs are given
attrType	string	"Loading", "Support", "Material", etc
masterSlave	boolean	"Master"/true or "Slave"/false
eleType	string	Name of a LUSAS element, e.g. "QTS4"
stressModel	string	Name of a LUSAS stress model e.g. "Thick Shell"
Return value	array of DatabaseMember objects	the returned array

Example

To loop all visible elements

 eleArray =  visible.getObjects("Element")
 for i = 0 to ubound(eleArray)
    set ele = eleArray(i)
    call msgbox(ele.getID())
 next

 pntArray = selection.getObjects("Support", "fixed", "Point", "1T100")
 for i = 0 to ubound(pntArray)
    set p = pntArray(i)
    call msgbox(p.getID())
 next
