How to add table in custom load and custome result ?

1990chs

I want to define a custome load and custome result ACT extension. Then I need to define some load values using table data, although workbench provide "Worksheet.PropertyGroupEditor.PGEditor", but it is not good to use.

Custom Load Example
The following picture is a self define custome load. I want to define a load values table in Table area.

Custom Result Example
The following picture is a self define custome result. I want to define a table to add material yield stresses with different temperatures.

So, is any way to define custom table in Table panel ?

I'm afraid the only solution is indeed to use a and define tabular data through the Worksheet.PropertyGroupEditor.PGEditor class.

It is very sad to hear that, I am not sure weather it is work if I use Ansys.UI.Toolkit.GridView to create a table and add to Table Panel.
Maybe I can try someday in the future.

You should be able to use the Ansys.UI.Toolkit.GridView control to make a table. You can also then attach that control to the tabular data window. This has a slightly different look/feel than the Mechanical native tabular data control, and you will need to program the interface from the ground up.

You can also use any other UI options like windows forms as a pop up window. This is good for compatibility, but you cannot embed the controls into the mechanical pane at this time.

FYI... Take a look at the bolt tools add on. It has some utilization of this control and also a ready-made module for attaching controls to the mechanical interface (AttachControlToMechanical.py)

Yes, I have ever read the controls to the mechanical interface and know how to add to Table panel (DefaultPanelEnum=Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.MechanicalPanelEnum.TabularData). But I am not sure weather the Gridview object can bonded to xml file in order to get the Gridview object in some callbacks?

You can create and attach the control with the OnShow object callback per the xml file. You then detach it with the OnHide callback (also in xml).
For using the control, the UI control has its own callbacks like text changed, cell activated etc…these are specified in python and not in the xml.
I hope this helps
