Custom Results Output

Custom results output allows you to pass MotionSolve results directly to a user-written subroutine denoted by POST_SUB. MotionSolve calls POST_SUB at every successful integration time step which uses the MotionSolve Result API for generating the results in a customized format. You have access to the same data as passed to the MotionSolve MRF file (shown here in HyperGraph) via POST_SUB, as shown in the image below.

To customize result output:

1.	Add the <Post_UserAPI/> element to the MotionSolve XML input file.

post_user_api

<Post_UserAPI/> element

2.	Write a POST_SUB:

code_in_postsub

Code in POST_SUB

3.	From within POST_SUB, call access functions to get the states of selected entity types.

These access functions are:

•	c_get_post_states

•	c_getnumid

•	c_getidlist

as shown in the image below. Valid entity types are PART, POINT_MASS, FLEX_BODY, and REQUEST.
