How to extract temperature time history of an arbitrary point in the assembly?

Ayush Kumar

Using temperature probe and scoping it to a local coordinate system at an arbitrary location.

from collections import OrderedDict

my_point = [8.5, 10.5, 3.5]

# Add a coordinate system
coordinate_systems = Model.CoordinateSystems
csys = coordinate_systems.AddCoordinateSystem()

# Set the origin
csys.SetOriginLocation(Quantity("%s [mm]" % my_point[0]),
                       Quantity("%s [mm]" % my_point[1]),
                       Quantity("%s [mm]" % my_point[2]))

analysis = Model.Analyses[0]
# Add Temperature probe
temp_probe = analysis.Solution.AddTemperatureProbe()
# Scope it to the LCS
temp_probe.LocationMethod = LocationDefinitionMethod.CoordinateSystem
temp_probe.CoordinateSystemSelection = csys
temp_probe.EvaluateAllResults()

temp_probe.Activate()

# Access the table data

temp_data = OrderedDict()
paneTabular = ExtAPI.UserInterface.GetPane(MechanicalPanelEnum.TabularData)
control = paneTabular.ControlUnknown
for row in range(1, control.RowsCount+1):
    time = control.cell(row, 2).Text
    temperature = control.cell(row, 3).Text
    temp_data.update({time: temperature})

# Print Temp.

for time, temperature in temp_data.iteritems():
    print "%s: %s" % (time, temperature)
