Question regarding changing user defined charts' time steps using a python result script.

I have a python result file that I am trying to get some custom result files evaluated in different time steps. for some reason I cannot find a method under a user plot object that would be similar to "Retrieve this result" as opposed to "Evaluate all results. In any case the application does not perform a "Evaluate all results" action. I think it is because the python result is also part of the results that needs to be evaluated (kind of a recursive action).

Would you guys know if there is a way around this? Can I have a python result file that updates results's time steps in a loop and in each iteration evaluate the plots? I have ansys 2022 r1 just FYI

@Kev - your question has been sitting a while so I went in to nudge someone to take a look, but I am not sure what you are asking about as you have not tagged the post with anything! If you can edit it, and make sure you add a tag for the tool you are using, we will get someone over here for you!

Thanks Chris for following this up.

I think this would concern the programming and scripting part of Ansys Mechanical. I will update the tags accordingly.

Thanks again.

Hi @Kev ,

I'm afraid I do not fully understand your question here. Are you using a Python Result object in Mechanical? Are you using an ACT extension to create a custom result? Can you provide more details (maybe with a screenshot or two) of what you're trying to achieve exactly?

Thanks
