Cannot reproduce the EDEM-HyperStudy Connector tutorial results
Hi,
I am learning EDEM-HyperStudy Connector with the official tutorial from this link:
https://community.altair.com/discussion/35630/edem-hyperstudy-connector-installers-and-user-guide
However, when I implemented the step to export the 'responses.csv' file, the file could not be generated like the guided video.
I tried to debug the process and found the key point was when Hyperstudy ran the "edempy_post.py", the "contacts = deck.timestep[i].contact.surfSurf.getContacts()" variable cannot be successfully retrieved. The screenshot of the attempted debugged process is shown in the following:
The interesting thing is that when I tried to retrieve this data in a newly opened Python file, it worked:
The Python environment that I used was the default version, 3.8.10, and the HyperStudy was v2024.1.0
Your suggestions are valuable. If there are any other people who faced the same issue as me when running the tutorial case or If you can run this case smoothly, please don't hesitate to let me know.

The problem was solved by installing EDEM and Hyperstudy with v2022.3, but I don't know the reason behind them.

Hi, I'm glad the case was resolved.
The tutorial does reference the older versions of the coupling, we are currently planning on releasing an updated version and will aim to update the tutorial for that also.
Just to note if you do want to use an alternative .py file you shouldn't include the edempy folder as shown in the video at 50 s here:
The newer versions of the coupling have the edempy folder built in to hte EDEM install, so this folder should be removed or it causes version problems. You can then use one of the more up to date analysis, for example you could use one of the calibration kit examples
