Accessing Contour Results from an Evaluated Result

In Mechanical, you can create a contour result of a specific type and style and evaluate it. You can then access contour results from these evaluated results. For the Total Deformation result illustrated here, you use the Mechanical Scripting pane to display contour results in tabular format, as shown in the describes and examples below.

Using PlotData you return a result data table for a contour result.

For a Nodal result, the results table displays only node information.

 

For a Elemental result, the results table displays only node information.

 

For a Elemental Nodal result, the result table has both node and element information (unaveraged results).

 

Similarly, you can generate result table for contour results with multiple components.

 

Example 1

The following script prints the independent columns of the result table.

The following script snippet prints the dependent columns of the result table.

 

 

Example 2

The following script snippet prints the X component column, unit, count and a specific value of result table.

 

Example 3

The following script snippet prints the hidden column (body ids) along with the result table for a result.

 

Example 4

For the PlotData result shown here:

 

The following script prints the third row of the result table for X and Y values by indexing each column.

 

Example 5

The following script prints the Time Steps included in the Static Structural analysis.
