API - Tcode reference and MessageID

Anonymous — Fri, 06 Mar 2020 10:36:19 GMT

Hi community,

I have trouble getting values from tcodes. For example, I want to extract pvT coefficients with tcode 1004 or mechanical properties data but I didn't manage to succeed... Do you have scripts to help me ?

Also, I tried to use SystemMessage.GetDataMessage but is there a list of all the messageId that can be extracted from this method ?

Thank you for your help

Hi @Anonymous ,

I believe PVT coefficients might be protected for this kind of extraction.
Is available in tcode, but could be for write only.

Here is a way to extract data from analysis log:

API example: Extract information from screen out file
For the analysis log, .out file; see details in cmmesage.dat
in folder such as:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Moldflow Synergy 2019\data\dat

I did not dig in to how to extract the PVT coefficients using that example, but should be possible.

Share your findings.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Berndt

Thank you for your answer. Is this the same for mechanical properties ? I don't know how to read them

Thank you

Hi,

yes, and tcode 1621.Mechanical properties data, for thermoplastics material.

It is in the cmmesage.dat file.

---- MSCD 1621 6 0 0 0 0 0 5 Mechanical properties data: E1 = %11.4G E2 = %11.4G v12 = %11.4G v23 = %11.4G G12 = %11.4G Pa,1,1 Pa,1,2 ,0,3 ,0,4 Pa,1,5 ----

In Pa, so you need to recalculate the found data to MPa.

Just wanted to add:

to use this way of getting data, you need to run at least a Fill analysis, to get an Analysis Log to read.

thank you for your explanations but could you give me more ? What shoudl I do with E1 = %11.4G ? or with Pa,1,1 ?

Hi,

have a look at examples:

API example: Extract information from screen out file

' Read Maximum Injection pressure and the time it occurred ' return the array of numerical values associated with the last instance of Message ID (MSCD) 41400 ' MSCD 41400 1 0 0 0 0 0 5 ' Maximum injection pressure (at %11.4G) = %11.4G ' s,1,2 ' Pa,1,1 ' Note: Please see .../data/dat/shared/cmmesage.dat for format details Set MM = lMessages.GetMessage(41400,0) lStr = "Maximum injection pressure occured at " & CStr(MM.GetFloat(1)) & " Pressure = " & CStr(MM.GetFloat(0)) MsgBox CStr(lStr)

So for

1621.Mechanical properties data

---- MSCD 1621 6 0 0 0 0 0 5 Mechanical properties data: E1 = %11.4G E2 = %11.4G v12 = %11.4G v23 = %11.4G G12 = %11.4G Pa,1,1 Pa,1,2 ,0,3 ,0,4 Pa,1,5 ---- ' Note: Please see .../data/dat/shared/cmmesage.dat for format details Set MM = lMessages.GetMessage(1621,0) lStr = "E1= " & CStr(MM.GetFloat(0)) & " E2= " & CStr(MM.GetFloat(1)) MsgBox CStr(lStr) ' or could be: 'lStr = "E1= " & CStr(MM.GetFloat(1)) & " E2= " & CStr(MM.GetFloat(2)) 'MsgBox CStr(lStr)

"What should I do with E1 = %11.4G ? or with Pa,1,1 ?"

> That is format description. You could leave %11.4G

Pa,1,1, is unit, so in Pa which you might want to recalculate to MPa, and the last number, 1, is the position in array of MM.

Hope this clarifies.
