VBS for exporting XY plot for one node

rami.rouhana — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 11:53:03 GMT

I am recording a macro to export one node XY plot in txt form. That was very esay.

Now I am trying to edit the VB script so I can export XY plot for another node, and the code does not contain the Node number. In the macro I have exported node N12508 . The only data I have in the code is ID 1180.

How can I select a different node in the VB script ?

the purpose is to make a script that can export XY plot for 10 or 20 nodes. (So recording again a macro for the other node is not the solution i am looking for.)

Here is the code of the Macro for exporting one node XY plot.

Set Synergy = SynergyGetter.GetSASynergy

Set Synergy = CreateObject("synergy.Synergy")
End If
Synergy.SetUnits "Metric"
Set PlotManager = Synergy.PlotManager()
Set Plot = PlotManager.CreatePlotByDsID(1180, True)
Set Viewer = Synergy.Viewer()
Viewer.ShowPlot Plot
Set PlotManager = Synergy.PlotManager()
Set Viewer = Synergy.Viewer()
Set Plot = Viewer.ActivePlot()
Plot.SaveXYPlotCurveData "C:\Users\rouhana\Desktop\Pressure data for one node\Node N12508 XY Pressure.txt"

Node selection is not recorded in the script. 1180 is the result ID for pressure.

Add the following two lines after "Set Plot = Viewer.ActivePlot()"

Plot.SetXYPlotMaxNumberOfCurves 10
Plot.SetPlotNodesFromString "N1 N2 N3 N4 N5"

The first line is to set the max number of curves to 10 (max number allowed in one plot).

The second line is to specify nodes in the plot.
