Simlab automation using python

Hello,

 

I am looking for a list of python script functions to automate Simlab tasks. I already searched in Simlab help, but it seems that all the functions are not in it. On Simlab learning center, I found some scripts as example but they did not help me.

My real problem is for automating selection. I record my action in Simlab, for example create a group with a node and if I change the node value by a parameter (which has exactly the same value) in the python script, when I run it, the log file reports that 'No node selected for node group'.

 

Thank you in advance for your help,

    Hello,

     

    I found the solution for my problem, if you want to select your entity in your python script, you need to call the entity like in the capture. I hope that it will help someone.

    I am still thinking that a list of python script functions to automate Simlab tasks could be useful, if somebody have it, please share !

    Thank you very much for your answer ! I was also looking for functions like create set or create mesh controls but I think the only way to have access to these functions is Project>Record, right ? Do you know if there is a list of all the software's available functions ?

    Thank you for your help,
