Automating a result

Hello,

I am trying to plot graph and write our the curve for few nodes in the model. I need to these steps multiple times for various load cases. I was trying to create a session file and play it so that it automates and somehow the session file halts/crashes when processing these results.

PS. I am doing this for transient solution so there are quit a few time steps.

If you haven't tried it already, consider running the session file in batch mode.

Running a session file in batch mode (-b) is faster than running it interactively because no interactive graphics is displayed and might perhaps alleviate the crashing issue if it has to do with graphics.

You will also need an additional "-graphics" command line option since you are trying to generate plots.

Here's an article that talks about it a little more.

The above command was not working for me. I tried the same method but this time use create report tab. Since create report tab does not displays the data (graph) it easily writes out the *.rpt file with a session recording.

One questions in terms of report output, I am using a transient run and interested in displacement plot. in the report format I have a lot of information of each time step. Is there a way to just record displacement out rather than information about time steps. Each report I need to remove these time steps data entities

You can do this with Format settings in Display Attributes. Clear out the Title Text Format box. Do the same for the Header and Footer options. You can also switch off Display Column Labels if you wish. This should give you a file with nothing but the data in it.
