Description

Creates a curve by extracting values from a results file. The results file must be loaded before executing this command.

Inputs

entity_type
The type of entities on the mark.
mark_id
The ID of the mark that contains the entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
x_data_type
The name of the x data type from which to extract data.
y_data_type
The name of the y data type from which to extract data.
x_component
The name of the x component to be extracted from the file if the x data type is displacement. Valid values are:
  • total
  • x comp
  • y comp
  • z comp
y_component
The name of the y component to be extracted from the file if the y data type is displacement. Valid values are:
  • total
  • x comp
  • y comp
  • z comp

Examples

To create a curve from the displacement results for node 12, starting with the simulation simulation1:

*analysisfileset C:/my_results/test.res
*createmark nodes 1 12
*analysiscurvecreate nodes 1 "displacements" "simulationid" "total" ""

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
