Is it possible to read csv files containing elemental data to visualise in Apex?

CSV data for shell elements is generated using in house tools and we wish to visualise this in Apex. Currently this can be done in Patran by converting the csv to a neutral file, or in Hyperview by converting the csv to a hwascii file. Is there a simple way in Apex to do this?

You might be able to do something with the Map Spatial Load custom tool in Apex, which can read data from a csv file. However this may depend on how your data is presented in the csv file; the tool currently expects data at point locations in space. The help page on this has more details.

I don't think that would do what we want, unless I could modify how the script worked. The file would simply be:

element, data1, data2, ...

and I would be able to plot data1 or data2 etc.

I guess I could loop through all elements, determine the cg of each element using Apex and use that info with the Map spatial tool, if it was available to be modified by us.

Thanks,

If you want to dive into the code, you can see all the sources in the Custom Tools folder in your MSC_Apex Workspace folder, e.g.

C:\Users\<username>\MSC_Apex Workspace\Custom Tools 2022.3
