Query automation of Reults of Simulations

hi, I m simulating a model of a rotating e-motor and solved the model with different speeds with OptiStruct (as different loadsteps / loadcols). im already done to do automation of Query Stress Data in every nodes. But i want to query more than just one Simulations result. for example i need Stress Data of from 1RPM to 20000RPM, which means 20000 Simulations Results should be reported. i did automation with tcl Commends

 

hwi GetSessionHandle session
session GetProjectHandle project
project GetPageHandle page [project GetActivePage]
page GetWindowHandle window [page GetActiveWindow]
window GetClientHandle client
client GetModelHandle model [client GetActiveModel]
model GetResultCtrlHandle result
 
result GetContourCtrlHandle contour
 
contour SetDataType "Element Stresses (2D & 3D)"
contour SetDataComponent component vonMises
contour SetAverageMode advanced
contour SetLayer Max
contour SetEnableState True
contour SetResultSystem 0
contour SetDimensionEnabled solid True
contour SetDimensionEnabled shell True
contour SetEnableState True
 
client GetMeasureHandle measure 1
 
lappend max_stress
set subcases [result GetSubcaseList "Base"]
foreach subcase $subcases {
result SetCurrentSubcase $subcase                  ;# nächsten Subcase auswählen
client Draw                                        ;# refresh View
lappend max_stress [measure GetMaximum scalar]     ;# Maximum an Liste anhängen
}
 
# Export der maximalen Spannungen
set responses_file [open "struct_responses.json" "w"]
set line "\["
append line [join $max_stress ", "]
append line "\]"
puts -nonewline $responses_file $line
close $responses_file
 
 
# Export der Spannungen
model GetQueryCtrlHandle myQueryName
model GetSelectionSetHandle mySetName [model AddSelectionSet  node]
mySetName Add all
result SetCurrentSimulation 1
 
 
 
myQueryName SetDataSourceProperty result datatype Stress
myQueryName SetDataSourceProperty result shelllayer Upper
myQueryName SetQuery "node.id, node.coords, contour.value"
myQueryName SetSelectionSet [mySetName GetID];
myQueryName WriteData {D:/junhyeong/Spannungsdaten/Daten.csv};
 
when i do simulation of different RPMs like 10000 15000 17000 and 20000, only Stress Data of 20000(biggest RPM Stressdata i guess) ist reported. but i need all Stress Data. what i miss it from TCL Commends or do you guys have ideas?

thanks

    you would need to perform a loop (for) looping over all your rotations (probably readed as simulations)

    So, here, instead of performing only for the current simulation (1), you would need a loop for all of them

    for 1...number_of_sim   {

    ...

    mySetName Add all
    result SetCurrentSimulation $i
     
    #query commands, and set to different name, according to the RPM
     
    }
     
    To help reduce the effort here, you could maybe use a mixed combination of TCL and HWC commands. Except for query, they work like a charm.

    hey Adriano thanks for the Reply. now i try to make a Loop. i understood that i have to change on the line 'result SetCurrentSimulation 1' to 'result SetCurrentSimulation $i' but i dont get it what i have to also change on the Query lines. how can i make query to depend on the RPM? or what do you mean by 'set to different name'? And try to make 'for' loop like for {set i 0} {$i <5} {incr i}. and i ran the simulations for 10000 15000 20000 22000 RPMs but it is not exported..

     

    # Export der Spannungen
    model GetQueryCtrlHandle myQueryName
    model GetSelectionSetHandle mySetName [model AddSelectionSet  node]
    mySetName Add all
    result SetCurrentSimulation $i

     

    myQueryName SetDataSourceProperty result datatype Stress
    myQueryName SetDataSourceProperty result shelllayer Upper
    myQueryName SetQuery "node.id, node.coords, contour.value"
    myQueryName SetSelectionSet [mySetName GetID];
    myQueryName WriteData {D:/junhyeong/Spannungsdaten/Daten.csv};

     

    for {set i 0} {$i < 4} {incr i}
