(API) macro for detecting short calculation elements - Instability type 3

[Anonymous]

1. Select all model (CTRL+A) and run intersection (Edit > Intersect)

2. Find the shorter bars and determine why their end nodes are in such locations

This is an old thread, but a new question crossed my mind.

Rather than using the workaround above, would it be possible to read lengths of calculation elements using API?
