Panel - Storage nodes

[polylouis]

Hi everyone,

I would like to storage nodes of panel in a list with python.

The aim is to browse the list to get FEdetail.MXX for exemple.

Actually I do like this : 

for j in range(58,61😞

    FEParams.Case=j

    for i in range(0,41😞

        FEParams.Node = i

        FEdetail=structure.Results.FiniteElems.Detailed(FEParams)

        mxx_ELSF=(FEdetail.MXX)*0.001

        myy_ELSF=(FEdetail.MYY)*0.001

        mxy_ELSF=(FEdetail.MXY)*0.001

Could you help me to find the solution ? 

Thank you in advance,

Regards

Louis

HI @polylouis 

to extract the list of nodes from a panel

Dim Obj As RobotObjObject, ObjNo As Long, NodesLst As String
ObjNo = xxx ' < Panel Number
Set Obj = RobApp.Project.Structure.Objects.Get(ObjNo)
NodesLst = Obj.Nodes

Best regards

Thakn you for your answer @Stephane.kapetanovic .

I don't succeed this proposal. List returns none elements

I thought the following test : 

objects = structure.Objects

object_number = objects.FreeNumber

objects.CreateContour(object_number, points)

contour = IRobotObjObject(objects.Get(object_number))

contour.Main.Attribs.Meshed = True

contour.Initialize()

contour.SetLabel(IRobotLabelType.I_LT_PANEL_THICKNESS, "Massif")

contour.SetLabel(IRobotLabelType.I_LT_PANEL_REINFORCEMENT, "REINF_massif2")

contour.SetLabel(IRobotLabelType.I_LT_SUPPORT, "Fix")

contour.Update()

NodesLst = contour.Nodes

 No=[]

No.append(NodesLst)

But it desn't work...

hi @polylouis 

you need to mesh first

hi @Stephane.kapetanovic, 

the result is :

[" 1to152 154to166 168to170 172to175 177to185 187 189to195 197to206  "]

Do you know how should I obtain each node in the list ?

Thank you in advance

hi @polylouis 

there are several ways to do this.
- create a function that returns an array from the text sequence. (it can be used in many places in your programs)
- create a virtual selection "Selections.Create(Type)", give it the text of the nodes with "Sel.FromText(List)" and iterate over a collection made of the selection.

Best regards
