PyFlux: Get application type

Romain B

Hi, 

I'm back with questions regarding Python/PyFlux. I'm trying to determine the current application in a script. I have two questions:

1. In my tests, I found out that my current application is always Application[2]. Why is there no Application[0], and why is Application[1] the pre-processor?

2. When I type 'Application[2]' in the PyFlux command line, I get 'ApplicationMagneticTransient3D[2]', which would be good for me to determine the application. Yet, when I assign it to a variable 'myVar = Application[2]', a print of that variable returns '2'. I can't seem to get the information I want. There must be a python mechanism that I don't understand, and it might be useful for several other tasks in Flux.

 

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello,

The Application[1] is always the preprocessor. Application[2] is for the physical application.

I propose you to use a specific command (which is valid for all Flux entities):

A=Application[2].getPyFluxCommand()

print A

It should display something like this for transient application:

ApplicationMagneticTransient2D(domain2D=Domain2DPlane(lengthUnit=LengthUnit['MILLIMETER'],

                                                      depth='75'),

                               solverFE=SolverFEFlux3D(),

                               coilCoefficient=CoilCoefficientAutomatic(),

                               transientInitialization=TransientInitializationStaticComputation())

I hope it will help.

regards
