Adds the specified objects to this set. Note that add obeys the value of the downward associativity such that it will also add the LOFs of any items added if the downward associativity flag is set true. 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 Pointer to this object Allows multiple function calls to be chained together

Example

To select elements 1, 4, 7, 10, 12 and 15

 call selection.add "Element", "1T10I3,12,15"

To make visible any points with IDs between 1 and 10 that are in set 'bob'

 call visible.add bob, "point", "1T10"

To make visible all features with an assignment to a support named "fixed"

 call visible.add "support", "fixed"

To make visible any points with IDs between 1 and 10 with an assignment to a support named "fixed"

 call visible.add "support", "fixed", "point", "1T10"

To select all surfaces that have QTS4 elements assigned

 call selection.add "QTS4", "surface", "all"

To make all QTS4 elements visible

 call visible.add "QTS4", "element", "all"

To make all QTS4 elements, and also their parent surfaces, visible

 call visible.add "QTS4", "all"
