How can I make the average transmission loss a parameter in a harmonic acoustic analysis?

The average is not available to be made parameter, only min and max is. It is still possible to do this though.
Below is one way of doing that (using python code). It assumes that we have a harmonic acoustic analysis with a results object called Transmission Loss. Due to a limitation in reading in these results, it needs to save the result to file, read the content of the file, and calculate what is needed (average in this case), and make that value a parameter.
Script:
def after_post(this, solution):# Do not edit this line """ Called after post processing. Keyword Arguments : this -- the datamodel object instance of the python code object you are currently editing in the tree solution -- Solution """ import csv myfile='D:\mtl.txt' # To access properties created using the Property Provider, please use the following command. # this.GetCustomPropertyByPath("your_property_group_name/your_property_name") # To access scoping properties use the following to access geometry scoping and named selection respectively: # this.GetCustomPropertyByPath("your_property_group_name/your_property_name/Geometry Selection") # this.GetCustomPropertyByPath("your_property_group_name/your_property_name/Named Selection") ExtAPI.Log.WriteMessage('Start') tl = DataModel.GetObjectsByName("Transmission Loss")[0] tl.Activate() tl.ExportToTextFile(myfile) avtl=0 tot=0 nr=0 with open(myfile, 'rb') as f: data = csv.reader(f,delimiter='\t') next(data) for row in data: nr=nr+1 tot=tot+(float(row[1])) avtl=tot/nr #ExtAPI.Log.WriteMessage(str(avtl)) this.GetCustomPropertyByPath("My Results/mytl").Value=avtl
Property provide:
def reload_props(): this.PropertyProvider = None # comment the following return to allow the rest of the function definition to be executed and add properties #return """ Some sample code is provided below that shows how to: 1.
