Access Output Control( Analysis Settings) in WB LS-DYNA with ACT Issued

Wayne

I want to change Output Control (Analysis Settings) to **Time **and value is **0.01 **in WB LS-DYNA

Below is my code.

Implicit_Analysis = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0]
solver = Implicit_Analysis.Solver
CaculateResultTemp = solver.Properties['Output Controls/Calculate Results At']
CaculateResultTemp.Value= r'Time'
solver.Properties['Output Controls/Time'].Value = 0.01
ExtAPI.DataModel.Tree.Refresh()

After execute the Calculate Results will success change to Time but value will not show in WB

After Execute (Issue)

Expect (Correct)

Please help me to correct the code

Thanks

@Wayne You can trigger Validate() callback via script which will make the Time property visible.

Implicit_Analysis = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0]
solver = Implicit_Analysis.Solver
CaculateResultTemp = solver.Properties['Output Controls/Calculate Results At']
CaculateResultTemp.Value= r'Time'
CaculateResultTemp.Validate()
solver.Properties['Output Controls/Time'].Value = 0.04

@Wayne I am not sure which version you are using here. I rarely use Implicit in WB-DYNA but adding below line at the end of your script should show effects in UI.

solver.NotifyChange()

This is to send a signal to mechanical for updating properties for a custom object. Since WB-DYNA is an an ACT based system, it will be applicable as well. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the comment.
I try it in my script but did not work
Those Time Value still not show in UI.

But I find some interesting thing.
Although UI is not show but when export the .Kfile the Time Value is success change it.

By the way my version is 2023R2

Thanks

Hi @Rajesh Meena

Appreciate！

After using .Validate(), the time value is success display is UI.
