Finding minimum value between two time values

Question

Hey Adams community,

The picture shown below shows the results of a certain measure.

I am trying to extract the minimum value between two time values (t = 50s, t1 = 55s, in this case). In this situation it actually is the global minimum, but thats not always true.

Of course i can do this in excel/python by exporting the measure results. But i was wondering how this can be accomplished in ADAMS?

The MIN(ARRAY) function takes the global minimum of the measure. Does there exist some sort of MINBETWEEN function?

Thanks in advance,

Niels

You can slice the array "Python" style. So if you know the start_index and end_index of the data you want to investigate, you can do this:

MIN({array}[start_index : end_index])

To get the index, use the VALI function.

Note: If you want to include the slicing in a macros, be sure to keep the spaces before and after the :

Otherwise you cannot create a macro containing this.
