API script for deflection node locations

[Kskinner]

Does anyone have an API script to get node locations before and after deflection (without shrinkage) that can be shared?

I’d like something with 6 columns: x, y, z, dx, dy, dz. 

I’ve tried a Nodal-csv.vbs with the deflection output with no luck.

Thanks in advance,

Kris Skinner

Hi Kris,

first, I have no off-shelf-solution to your request.

The object WarpQueryNode in API can get coordinates before and after deflection, and components/deltas.

It has no data index to get result without shrinkage.

You can probably workaround by adding the calculaction of removing shrinkage from "after deflection" by enter

a shrinkage value in a script.

Or do a Warp export.

Re-import to Synergy, do a scale by shrinkage value, then export coordinates.

It should keep node numbers, but has to be verified.

Then you can calculate node to node components/deltas without shrinkage.

Even if not resolving your request, I hope this helps somewhat.

Regards,

Berndt
