How do I automate a moving ImportedPressure object in Mechanical

How do I generate an imported pressure load that moves as a function of time and vary the scale over time in Mechanical?

Aria

This is a sample code which generate n number of imported pressure loads, vary them over time and transform the load object as a function of time (points).

To run it, the Imported Load tree object needs to be selected.

import math

############
## inputs ##
time_range = [0,10]
x_range = [5,50] # x0 to x1
y_range = [10,23] # y0 to y1
z_range = [-100,300] # z0 to z1
points = 10
############
############

def linspace(val_range, num):
    start, stop = val_range[0], val_range[1]
    diff = stop - start
    step = diff / (num - 1)
    return [start + step * i for i in range(num)]

def sinus(x1, x2, num_points):
    return [math.sin(x1 + i * (x2 - x1) / num_points) for i in range(num_points)]

imp = Tree.FirstActiveObject
analysis = imp.Parent
analysis.AnalysisSettings.NumberOfSteps = points


xvals = linspace(x_range,points)
yvals = linspace(y_range,points)
zvals = linspace(z_range,points)
scale_range = sinus(0,2*math.pi,points)

for iter in range(0,points):
    with Transaction(suspendClicks=True):
        if iter == 0:
            load = imp.AddImportedPressure()
        else:
            load = load.Duplicate()
        table=load.GetTableByName("")[0]
        table[1] = iter+1
        table[2] = round(scale_range[iter] ,2)
        load.PropertyByName("OriginX").InternalValue = float(xvals[iter])
        load.PropertyByName("OriginY").InternalValue = float(yvals[iter])
        load.PropertyByName("OriginZ").InternalValue = float(zvals[iter])
