how can i save forming project fie as .ssf file extension for automation

asam

Hello all,

how can i save forming project fie as .SSF file extension for automation instead of .SFP. 

I am trying to do the following process for my preform optimization, 

  • Generate shape

  • Export STL

  • Call Simufact CLI (creating a template file which can be used as a automation file similar to one in ansys and hyper mesh)

  • Run extract_strain.py (script to extract strain data for fitness evaluation)

  • Read back strain → update optimizer in MATLAB.

i am trying to built the above automation loop for my simulations. 

I appreciate any inputs or advices. 

Thanks,

Vignesh.

    Hi Vignesh,

    I am not quite sure in which stage from your loop the .ssf format is required. If I understand correctly, you would like to create a template model, run the job, extract strain for optimization in MatLab, right?

    - here I am not sure about the reason of Export STL. 

    If so, after creating the template model, you can create the _Run_ Folder, then use .dat and umt as inputs in the optimization loop. During the loop, you can use python script to edit modelling parameter and then start simulation. 

    For result export I am also not sure about for which data the extract_strain.py is created. If it is based on UNV format, export UNV can be automated in python script within Forming. If not, you may need ArcToolCmd for it. 

    Regards
