Obtaining solution for user-defined set of points
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Could anybody tell me if there is possibility in Agros of obtaining (and exporting) the values of solution in some user-defined set of points or mesh nodes.
Currently, using graphical interface, I can see the value of the function by clicking point-by-point on the solution plot. This is very inconvenient.
I tried to use python console but I couldn't find any documentation on which function/structure could be used for this.
Any help appreciated...
I have the same question.
I'll share what I have been able to do so far. I have used two methods and am looking for a third.
- You can use the "Chart" tab, define a line, and either graph or export to a CSV any number of values along that line. This is a way to obtain and export user defined points, but not arbitrary located points necessarily.
- If using python as I prefer to do, you can use the provided PythonLab interface to create a script from your model, then you can call the
local_values()
method on the field of interest, for examplemagnetic.local_values(x,y)['Brx']
. You can run a for loop over your points of interest to grab the corresponding values. - My related question is if the
local_values()
method which only takes one point is the only approach. It turns out that running a for loop over a modest number of points to pull out a matrix representation of a solution field is a fairly slow operation. Given that the interface shows a fairly high resolution image of the solution, I'm curious if there is a way for python scripts to get access to this data more efficiently. For instance, is there a method similar tolocal_values()
that can take a matrix of points instead of a single point, and return matrices of values at those points?
I know this question is fairly old, but since people can find it via searches I wanted to provide what I have found. I would also love if anyone has more details of a better approach or thoughts on my third point.
