How to create a post object in Mechanical with ACT

Hi,

I would like to create an object in the solution folder.
This object should write an APDL code in the ds.dat file after the solve.

I create with succes this kind of object in preprocessing :

    <load name="[Spectral] CQC" version="1" caption="[Spectral] CQC" icon="seisme" isload="true" color="#ff3300">

      <callbacks>
        <!-- This function is going to add APDL commands to the solver input (ds.dat) file in run time -->
        <getsolvecommands>writeCQCLoad</getsolvecommands>
      </callbacks>

      <!-- Expose 4 user inputs to collect for the APDL command -->
      <property name="CQC"  caption= "Significant parameter" control="float" default="0.001"/>

    </load>

I try do do the same in the post, but it dosn't work.

Is there any idea or example ?

Thanks,
Regards,
Jean

Another option is to use the callback, and define where the command should be added through the "location" parameter:

I found a solution :

<load name="[Spectral] CQC" version="1" caption="[Spectral] CQC" icon="damping" isload="true" color="#ff3300" contextual="False">

<callbacks>
        <!-- This function is going to add APDL commands to the solver input (ds.dat) file in run time -->
        <getsolvecommands>writeCQCLoad</getsolvecommands>
</callbacks>

<!-- Expose 4 user inputs to collect for the APDL command -->
<property name="CQC"  caption= "Significant parameter" control="float" default="0.001"/>

</load>

I made a mistake in my previous post.

The correct code should replace :

<getsolvecommands>writeCQCLoad</getsolvecommands>

with :

<getpostcommands>writeCQCLoad</getpostcommands>
