*analysiscurvecreatecomplex

Creates a curve pair by extracting complex values from a results file.

Syntax

*analysiscurvecreatecomplex entity_type mark_id x_data_type y_data_type x_component y_component

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Creates a curve pair by extracting complex values from a results file. The results file must be loaded before executing this command. The curves must be part of an extended (dual) plot and the y-values are assumed to be complex, either real/imaginary or phase/magnitude.

Inputs

entity_type
The type of entities on the mark.
mark_id
The ID of the mark that contains the entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
x_data_type
The name of the x data type from which to extract data.
y_data_type
The name of the y data type from which to extract data.
x_component
The name of the x component to be extracted from the file if the x data type is displacement. Valid values are:
  • complex
  • x comp/complex
  • y comp/complex
  • z comp/complex
y_component
The name of the y component to be extracted from the file if the y data type is displacement. Valid values are:
  • complex
  • x comp/complex
  • y comp/complex
  • z comp/complex.

Examples

To create a complex curve from the displacement results for node 12:

*analysisfileset C:/my_results/test.res
*createmark nodes 1 12
*analysiscurvecreatecomplex nodes 1 "displacements" "simulationid" "complex" ""

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
