Declaring new variables in .cmd file

Question

Hello everyone,

I need again some help from your side :

How can I create two new variables (I guess I need strings or something) into my .cmd file ?

How can I use these variables in order to replace the name of my assemblies and the name of my simulations.

Let's see the following example :

interface dialog execute dialog=.gui.ppt_file_export

numeric_results write &

result_set_component_name = .ASSEMBLY_NAME.SIMULATION_NAME.til_front_wheel_tire_forces.normal_front, &

.ASSEMBLY_NAME.SIMULATION_NAME.tir_front_wheel_tire_forces.normal_front, &

.......................................................................

.ASSEMBLY_NAME.SIMULATION_NAME. other 20 more components &

!

order = ascending &

write_to_terminal = off &

file_name = "NAME.txt"

Instead of ASSEMBLY_NAME I want to have a variable named "model" and instead of SIMULATION_NAME I want to have a variable named "simulation".

In my eyes everything will look like :

declared variable = model

declared variable = simulation

interface dialog execute dialog=.gui.ppt_file_export

numeric_results write &

result_set_component_name = .model.simulation.til_front_wheel_tire_forces.normal_front, &

.model.simulation.tir_front_wheel_tire_forces.normal_front, &

.......................................................................

.model.simulation. other 20 more components &

!

order = ascending &

write_to_terminal = off &

file_name = "NAME.txt"

Sounds like you should take a look at macros in Adams/View and use of parameters.

What you would do is declaring the parameter '$analysis'. (does not seem to be a need to have the assembly as a separate parameter as the analysis would include the analysis name.

And no, they are not string parameters, they are object type.

So you macro would start as

!USER_ENTERED_COMMAND my_postprocessing

!

! $analysis:t=analysis:a

!

numeric_results write &

result_set_component_name =$analysis.til_front_wheel_tire_forces.normal_front, &

$analysis.tir_front_wheel_tire_forces.normal_front, &

$analysis. other &

order = ascending &

write_to_terminal = off &

file_name = "NAME.tx
