The Field API can be used to extract minimum and maximum tabular data for boundary conditions. For example, you can extract minimum and maximum applied force. The following figure displays tabular data for a force and highlights its minimum and maximum quantities.
First, get the project model object, analysis object, force object, and the output variable with the applied force variables:
mymodel = DataModel.Project.Model anal = mymodel.Analyses[0] f2 = anal.Children[2] f2td = f2.Magnitude.Output
Next, get the tuple containing the minimum and maximum force quantities and then display these quantities by entering the variable name of the tuple:
mnmxf2 = f2td.MinMaxDiscreteValues mnmxf2
Given the above tabular data, the following results display:
(0 [lbf], 300 [lbf])
The variable mnxf2
is a tuple (pair) of quantities. Each element in
the tuple can be gotten by using the tuple's properties Item1
and
Item2
.
To get and display only the minimum force quantity:
mnv = mnmxf2.Item1 mnv
Given the above tabular data, the following results display:
(0 [lbf])
To get and display only the maximum force quantity:
mxv = mnmxf2.Item2 mxv
Given the above tabular data, the following results display:
(300 [lbf])
