How can I programmatically export ANSYS optiSLang plot data

into a CSV files?

ANSYS optiSLang postprocessing scripting API can be used to automate optiSLang's postprocessing.

Using the following script will extract all response data points and their approximated values:

from py_monitoring_kernel import *
from py_monitoring_gui import *

residual_plot = Visuals.Residual( Id(Visuals.Residual.get_display_name()), data_id )
control_container.add_control( residual_plot, True, RELATIVE_POSITIONING, 1/2., 0, 1/2., 1/2., Visuals.Residual.get_group_name() )

mon_data=controller.get_monitoring_data(data_id)
response_names=mon_data.get_response_names()

for response in response_names :
    Convenience.set_response_to_3rd_axis( controller, data_id, response )
    control_container.flush()

    residual_plot.export_data( response + "_data.csv" )

#close pp after work is done ?
control_container.close()

Script can be triggered from inside ANSYS optiSLang PostProcessing:

or inside ANSYS optiSLang project:
