SUMMARY

The discussion centers on automating the extraction of result data from Simpack Post, specifically targeting the retrieval of maximum values from defined channels such as acceleration and forces. Users can easily export data to text files for Excel, but the challenge lies in selecting specific result channels for extraction. The participant expresses dissatisfaction with the official documentation and seeks guidance on utilizing Simpack's scripting capabilities to streamline this process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Simpack Post software
  • Understanding of result channels in simulation data

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.
