Engineering Tools — List Group Titles (00235)

What this tool does

Lists every group in the active FEMAP model with its title, member counts (elements, nodes, properties), and group ID. Writes to the message window or to Excel.

When you want it

  • Inherited-model audit. You opened someone else's model and want a quick map of "what's grouped how" without opening the Groups dialog and clicking through each one.
  • Post-import sanity check. After Import / Export Groups Layers, confirm every group landed.
  • Cleanup screening. Find groups with zero members (leftover from a prior workflow) for deletion.

How to use it

  1. Open from Custom Tools > Model Audit - Query > List Group Titles.
  2. Choose destination: message window (default, fast) or Excel (better for large model with many groups).
  3. Click OK.
