AI Thread Summary
Automating the extraction of result data from Simpack Post channels is the primary focus of the discussion. Users can easily export data from diagrams to text files for Excel, but the challenge lies in directly extracting data from specific result channels. The original poster has explored scripting options but finds the official documentation lacking. They seek to obtain maximum or minimum values from defined sensors measuring forces during simulations, particularly in scenarios like trains on curved tracks. The conversation emphasizes the need for better guidance on utilizing Simpack's scripting capabilities for this purpose.

Hello. I would like to automate the process of getting result data from Simpack Post. It is easy to extract data from Simpack Post diagrams to txt-files and import to excel. But is there a way to extract data by choosing Simpack result chanels or generally of chanels?

For example, when I define 10 sensors for measurement of acceleration, forces in different load cases. I would like to extract maximum data values from all chosen chanels and put into excel table.

Thanks for any help!

Hello Stephan, ##\qquad## :welcome: ##\qquad## !

I would be surprised if there's nothing to be found in their scripting facilities

In good old PF fashion, I expect you did some research of your own, before posting ?
 
Hello. First of all, thanks for your greetings.

Yes i have searched for scripting facilities. But i am not satisfied or not well informed by the official help of SIMPACK.

I have already found out some ways for automated solving of load cases and also for automated extracting of txt-files for diagrams of results. But i have to prepare a simpack post file with respected diagrams and results chanals.

My aim is to get the results of force output chanals or result chanals directly. For example running train on curved track with PSD for track irregularity and i can analyse the lateral and / or vertical wheel forces directly and put the results to excel file. MAybe the minimum or maximum force along the track.
 
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
