Path results vs time (Graphic control)

Erik Kostson

How can we get the tabular data (without using undocumented and supported commands) when the Graphics Control is set to time (not S).

Erik Kostson

One way is to loop over the times and get the max/min/average values and save them in a file.

model=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model # refer to Model
analysis = model.Analyses[0]
solution = analysis.Solution
ns=DataModel.GetObjectsByName('Selection')[0] # change as needed
path = DataModel.GetObjectsByName('Path')[0] # change as needed
res=solution.AddUserDefinedResult()
res.ScopingMethod=GeometryDefineByType.Path
res.Location=ns
res.Location=path

res.Expression='UZ'

res.EvaluateAllResults()
res.GraphControlsXAxis = GraphControlsXAxis.Time


f1=open("D:\\testexppath.txt","w") #open file in user directory change as needed
for t in time_steps:
    with Transaction():
        res.DisplayTime=Quantity(float(t), "sec")
        max=res.Maximum
        min=res.Minimum
        ave=res.Average
        res.EvaluateAllResults()
        f1.write(str(t) + " , " + str(max) +","+ " , " + str(min) + "\n")
f1.close()

another perhaps faster way is below (can be easily modified to save to a file - see last script):

myr=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("User Defined Result") # name of results to activate
Tree.Activate(myr)
paneTabular=ExtAPI.UserInterface.GetPane(MechanicalPanelEnum.TabularData)
control = paneTabular.ControlUnknown
for col in range(1,control.ColumnsCount+1):
    for row in range(1,control.RowsCount+1):
        cellText= control.cell(row ,col ).Text
        if cellText!=None:
            print cellText

and saving to file:

myr=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("User Defined Result") # name of results to activate
Tree.Activate(myr)
paneTabular=ExtAPI.UserInterface.GetPane(MechanicalPanelEnum.TabularData)
control = paneTabular.ControlUnknown
f1=open("D:\\testexppath2.txt","w") #open file in user directory change as needed
for row in range(1,control.RowsCount+1):
        t= control.cell(row ,2).Text
        min= control.cell(row ,3).Text
        max= control.cell(row ,4).Text
        ave= control.cell(row ,5).Text
        f1.write(str(t) + " , " + str(max) + " , " + " , " + str(min) + " , "+str(ave) + "\n")
f1.close()
