Reading elements with different time channels

robertavarela

Hello all,

 

Is there a smart way to read elements with different time channels? In my CAE result file, there are elements with no time steps associated with it, whereas others have several time steps. I'd like to read those that have data but using this approach:

 testvar = gettimesteplist(caefile1,1,resulttype,i,component); if min(testvar) > 0 %Check if there are 0 time steps for that specific element    listelements = [listelements i]; %Append element to list of elements of interest end

is very inefficient. Does anyone have a suggestion of what's best to do?

 

Thanks,

 

Roberta

Hi Roberta,

If your variable testvar is a cell datatype, and contains all the timestep information then you can use something like below

for example

testvar = {1,[],2,4,5,[],10}

b = testvar(find(~cellfun(@isempty,testvar)))

 

then your 'b' will be

{

[1,1] 1

[1,2] 2

[1,3] 4

[1,4] 5

[1,5] 10

}

 

hope this helps

thanks,

Manoj
