Get results from different subcases

Hi,

I have a model of a rotating e-motor and solved the model with 3 different speeds with OptiStruct (as different loadsteps / loadcols).
Now I'm struggeling with the tcl commands for getting the value for the max stress for all 3 subcases.

The first steps are the same as for single speed:

hwi GetSessionHandle mySessionName mySessionName GetProjectHandle myProjectName set pageIndex [myProjectName GetActivePage] myProjectName GetPageHandle myPageName $pageIndex set windowIndex [myPageName GetActiveWindow] myPageName GetWindowHandle myWindowName $windowIndex myWindowName GetClientHandle myPostName set modelIndex [myPostName GetActiveModel] myPostName GetModelHandle myModelName $modelIndex myModelName GetResultCtrlHandle myResultName myResultName GetContourCtrlHandle contour_handle contour_handle SetDataType "Element Stresses (2D & 3D)" contour_handle SetDataComponent component vonMises contour_handle SetAverageMode advanced contour_handle SetLayer Max contour_handle SetEnableState True contour_handle SetResultSystem 0 myResultName SetCurrentSimulation 0 contour_handle SetDimensionEnabled solid True contour_handle SetDimensionEnabled shell True contour_handle SetEnableState True  # Maximum stress value myModelName GetQueryCtrlHandle myQueryName myModelName GetSelectionSetHandle mySetName [myModelName AddSelectionSet component] mySetName Add all myQueryName SetQuery "contour.max" myQueryName SetSelectionSet [mySetName GetID] myQueryName GetIteratorHandle qry_iterator

Now I can get the max stress for the first subcase with

set query_list [qry_iterator GetDataList] set max_stress [lindex $query_list 0]

and this command also works if I change the subcases manually.

But if I use the following for-loop to change the current subcase, the list / value is empty / "N/A":

# doesnt work set subcases [myResultName GetSubcaseList "Base"] foreach subcase $subcases { 	myResultName SetCurrentSubcase $subcase 	set query_list [qry_iterator GetDataList] }  # doesnt work either myResultName SetCurrentSubcase 1 set query_list [qry_iterator GetDataList]  myResultName SetCurrentSubcase 2 set query_list [qry_iterator GetDataList]  myResultName SetCurrentSubcase 3 set query_list [qry_iterator GetDataList] 

So what am I missing?

Thanks for your help!
