Querying Solution at Text Dots

A user asked for the ability to output solution values at the location of text dots. I've added to the documentation a script that does that. The script can be viewed at this link.

As an example, the following solution (+ dots):

Outputs to the following text file:

To change the queried value, specify a differerent tag at line 11. Valid tags include:

Solution Component	Component Tag String
X-Displacement	DSPX
Y-Displacement	DSPY
Z-Displacement	DSPZ
Total Displacement	DSPT
Stress XX	SIGXX
Stress YX	SIGYX
Stress YY	SIGYY
Stress YZ	SIGYZ
Stress ZX	SIGZX
Stress ZY	SIGZY
Stress ZZ	SIGZZ
Max. Principal Stress	SIG1
Mid. Principal Stress	SIG2
Min. Principal Stress	SIG3
Von Mises Stress	VONM
Strain XX	EPSXX
Strain XY	EPSXY
Strain XZ	EPSXZ
Strain YX	EPSYX
Strain YY	EPSYY
Strain YZ	EPSYZ
Strain ZX	EPSZX
Strain ZY	EPSZY
Strain ZZ	EPSZZ
Max. Principal Strain	EPS1
Mid. Principal Strain	EPS2
Min. Principal Strain	EPS3
Danger Level (Von Mises)	DGRVM
Danger Level (Shear Stress)	DGRSS
Danger Level (Rankine)	DGRRK
Danger Level (Coulomb Mohr)	DGRCM
Danger Level (Modified Mohr)	DGRMM

Hi Michael,

Thanks for this example. I'm new to using Scan&Solve , and having some trouble getting the basic scripted examples working.

I'm able to run the analysis and view the result, but it seems the result is not saved, so the script gives the error "no solution exists, cannot query". Also if I run the analysis, click Done, then run SnS again, the results are no longer there.

I'm currently using build 2016.8.2.0 (the evaluation version), though we do have a license for the full version in the office.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

In the evaluation version, the SnS dialog interface does not save solution results on the object. What you can do instead is call Solve(GUID,resolution) inside your script. Documentation:

http://www.intact-solutions.com/snsscript_documents/solving.htm

Calling this will solve the problem and results will become available.

Does this help?

Michael
