Hi all,

i hope someone can help me with this specific problem.

I have written an APDL script witch I included in workbench via an ACT. All works fine and does give the results I want.

The Problem:
I want to save some specific results that I write into a text-file via the ACT for several design points I created. These files should be saved in a folder witch I created manually. But at the moment they will be overwritten for each design point because the text-file name is always the same.

So what I want is a python-command to get the design point of the actual analysis so that I can generate a name corresponding to the design point. Does anybody know a command able giving me that integer Value or whatever indicating the actual design point?

Thank you for your help!

I am not yet familiar with ACT and Python I am afraid, but there should be something in the *get-family that gives you the necessary Information, e.g.:

*get,designpoint_,active,,solu,ncmls

Thank you for the tip!

I searched in the Ansys Help but unfortunately I couldn't find any possibility to access the information I need via the "*get"-Command. Actually I couldn't find any APDL-Command...

Any Other Ideas?

Doesn't the "design Point" you are searching for correspondent with the solution set (or "time step") on the rst-file?
If yes then the command *get,designpoint_,active,,solu,ncmls gives you the number which you can use in the file name. If I did not understand correctly, then please explain again what you are looking for...

Hi...

as far as i understand the question you are interested in a Command to extract the current designpoint-number as highlighted in the picture, right?
@arnd13: your command leads to column P5 because you get a rst-file for each dp...
I'm afraid, I don't know how to get the number but I'm very interested in any solution (if there is any  )

greetings

Understand. I was not aware that there are different rst-files for every DP. I suggest to use the name of the rst (I assumes they are named file01.rst, file02.rst ...) or use the wall clock time for identification of the produced file.

*get,time_,active,,time,wall

@PauleBeinlich: That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Im sure that there exists a command!... Just need to find it... Always the same 

But an alternative way to reach what I want would be also nice, so I will explain what I want more detailed.

I want to save Pictures of the deformation and other Values and Results that I wright into a txt-file in a specified path.
I extract this data via APDL-Commands. Those Commands are included in a ACT.
The folder/path in witch the data is saved keeps for every designpoint the same.
But to avoid overwriting the data in the specified folder for every designpoint I need to know the number of the actual designpoint that is solved so that I can give generic names for the data I want to save via the ACT.

I hope u understand what I explained and that it's not confusing you...
(can't imagine that there is no python command...Would be the smartest way I think)

Thanks in advance!

Finally I found a solution. Will try it out soon.
Quite awkward... But at least a solution.

That didn't work how I expected... But I have a new idea but I don't understand how to use the python-commands...

I want to insert the following command:

pathRoot = GetUserPathRoot()

With this I expect to get the Directory of my project. And in this directory-"name" should appear something like "...\dp0\..." specifying the designpoint.
What stands in the string of "pathRoot" I want to control via "pathRoot.find("\dp", 0)". But Ansys Workbench doesn't accept the "GetUserPathRoot()" at all... And I don't understand why... I found that command in the "Workbench Scripting Guide.pdf" by searching for directory.

Can anybody help?

Thank's for your engagement!
