Iteration / result-set selection via Python API

[Anonymous]

I have set up the solver to record results every 100 iterations. Works fine, all OK.
How - via the python API - can I loop through each of the recorded result-sets of the scenario ?

At the moment I have to select each result-set manually through the UI, and then run my python script to extract the data I want.
(All the examples you provide just seem to operate upon the 'active' results).

IDBateman,

Unfortunately activating a result for an iteration is not available in Python. Let me see if it is available in Qt. If so I'll attach a sample script showing execution of a Qt script from Python. A long shot for sure.

Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately much the response I had expected.

It is a very regrettable omission from the python API, as the ability to 'loop' through data is a fundamental programming paradigm.

The inclusion of an API is a very valuable feature, in many situations it can enable the user to develop highly efficient workflows, providing the user with a competitive edge and thereby a significant factor in their choice of software package. The ability to programatically select an object is bare-bones functionality,  and really does need to be included.

agree, this is crucial!

Eventually I gave up with the python interface, its just too limited by issues such as this. I was shocked that such basic functionality was not available; Autodesk continues to pay lip-service to the idea of providing programmatic interfaces, but falls short of offering anything really useful.
