Hello,

I am trying get model name for node position as script below

Center17673=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID("'''FEMModelName'''",5);
Center17674=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID("'''FEMModelName'''",4);
Center17675=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID("'''FEMModelName'''",6);
Center17676=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID("'''FEMModelName'''",2);
Center17677=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID("'''FEMModelName'''",1);
Center17678=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID("'''FEMModelName'''",7);


FEMModelName = simlab.getModelName("FEM");

MatchNodes=''' <MatchNodes CheckBox="ON" UUID="a1c0401f-a4d1-4f7a-8ae7-47f59af07ae7" gda="">
  <tag Value="-1"/>
  <Name Value=""/>
  <copy Value="FALSE"/>
  <lbc Value="FALSE"/>
  <flip Value="0"/>
  <FixedNode>
   <Entities>
    <Model>'''+FEMModelName+'''</Model>
    <Node>5,4,6,</Node>
   </Entities>
  </FixedNode>
  <MovableNode>
   <Entities>
    <Model>'''+FEMModelName+'''</Model>
    <Node>2,1,7,</Node>
   </Entities>
  </MovableNode>
  <Point1 Value="'''+str(Center17673).strip('()')+'''"/>
  <Point2 Value="'''+str(Center17674).strip('()')+'''"/>
  <Point3 Value="'''+str(Center17675).strip('()')+'''"/>
  <Point4 Value="'''+str(Center17676).strip('()')+'''"/>
  <Point5 Value="'''+str(Center17677).strip('()')+'''"/>
  <Point6 Value="'''+str(Center17678).strip('()')+'''"/>
  <Body>
   <Entities>
    <Model>'''+FEMModelName+'''</Model>
    <Body></Body>
   </Entities>
  </Body>
  <Output/>
 </MatchNodes>''';
simlab.execute(MatchNodes);

 

Getting Error as below...can anyone guide for the same

getModelName-------------------------------------- Passed

getNodePositionFromNodeID------------------------- Failed
    Model name not found

getNodePositionFromNodeID------------------------- Failed
    Model name not found

getNodePositionFromNodeID------------------------- Failed
    Model name not found

getNodePositionFromNodeID------------------------- Failed
    Model name not found

getNodePositionFromNodeID------------------------- Failed
    Model name not found

getNodePositionFromNodeID------------------------- Failed
    Model name not found

getModelName-------------------------------------- Passed

 Fixed points are colinear. Please review your selection.

 

Thank you

    Hello,

    this syntax

    Center17673=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID("'''FEMModelName'''",5);

    Seems wrong to me.

     

    Let's say, my model is called AA.gda and I want to find the position of the node 5360

    I can use the command
    Center=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID("AA.gda",5360);

    Now, if I put the model name in a string named FEMModelName:

    FEMModelName='AA.gda';

    then I can use the string variable in my syntax as follows:

    Center1=simlab.getNodePositionFromNodeID(FEMModelName,5360)

     

    The ''''' are not needed there, if FEMModelName is a python variable.

    I hope this can help.

    Hello Alessio,

    It worked perfect...Thank you

    I have an another issue of getting FE model name for renumbering

    FEMModelName = simlab.getModelName("FEM");

    Renumber=''' <Renumber UUID="28706164-a6f5-4544-b4a9-c052c4b6c60f">
      <Option Value="Nodes"/>
      <Selection Value="Model"/>
      <AdvancedOption>
       <SurfaceAndInterior Value="false"/>
       <CornerAndMid Value="false"/>
      </AdvancedOption>
      <RenumberData>
       <Model>'''+FEMModelName+'''</Model>
        <NodeStartID>101</NodeStartID>
       </Model>
      </RenumberData>
      <FileName Value=""/>
     </Renumber>''';
    simlab.execute(Renumber);

     

    The task shows passed d but the model is not renumbered..

    But when i check with actual model name its working..

    Renumber=''' <Renumber UUID="28706164-a6f5-4544-b4a9-c052c4b6c60f">
      <Option Value="Nodes"/>
      <Selection Value="Model"/>
      <AdvancedOption>
       <SurfaceAndInterior Value="false"/>
       <CornerAndMid Value="false"/>
      </AdvancedOption>
      <RenumberData>
       <Model Name="sample__source change_sltr1_SM.gda">
        <NodeStartID>101</NodeStartID>
       </Model>
      </RenumberData>
      <FileName Value=""/>
     </Renumber>''';
    simlab.execute(Renumber);

    May be again syntex error ....

    Kindly guide.

     

    Thnak you
