Hi again
Could it be possible to use some sort of wildcard method in this one? Like
verifiedValues['*P1*']
or
verifiedValues['?P1?']
Just a thought that seems intuitive, but is it doable?
Best regards

Hi all!
I have a problem with scripting the FEA software Ansys Workbench with
IronPython. I need to come up with a script that gets the variable
values in an optimum point that I have found using the optimization
tools.
I found some help for this with "VerifyCandidate" in the scripting
guide in the Ansys manual and did this in the Ansys Workbench command
window:
IronPython 2.6.10920.0 on .NET 2.0.50727.3625
system1 = GetSystem(Name="GDO")
optimization1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName="Optimization")
optimizationModel1 = optimization1.GetModel()
verifiedValues = optimizationModel1.VerifyCandidate(Index=0)
print verifiedValues
{'/Optimization/OutputParameter:P3': '-0.035979796200990677 [mm]',
'/Optimization/InputParameter:P1': '5.5 [mm]',
'/Optimization/OutputParameter:P2': '0.07417053282883164 [kg]'}
Now I have a dictionary with my one design variable P1 and two
responses P2 and P3 with their values at the optimum. Looking good so
far. So now I only need to get my hands on the values and I'm home free.
I think this should give me the value of the design variable P1:
verifiedValues['/Optimization/InputParameter:P1']
KeyNotFoundException: /Optimization/InputParameter:P1
But no, I get an error saying that there is no such key. But when I
list the keys, it's right there:
dict.keys(verifiedValues)
['/Optimization/OutputParameter:P3',
'/Optimization/OutputParameter:P2', '/Optimization/InputParameter:P1']
So this is my problem. I've tried calling it without the quotes or
with double quotes and any other variation that I've come up with. If
I make a new dictionary manually with the exact same keys and values
copied from the screen it works just fine. But I can't get anything
out of the original dictionary.
Any ideas on how to get it working or what could be done to debug
this? The only idea I've had is that for some reason the keys are
printed incorrectly and some characters are actually missing from
their names, but I might be totally off with this.
Needless to say that I'm a total newbie with Python. Probably the
right people to ask are other Ansys users, but I've had no luck
finding one that could help me. Maybe my luck will chance with you
Python gurus :)
All help is greatly appreciated!
