python script output results: how to get a list of the *only* calculated steps? (instead iterating all...)

Question

Hello, 
 I need to extract results from each step stored. 
 I didn't find a way to retrieve results different from this: 
 
 iterate = g_o . Steps [:] 
 #if step0=='' and step1=='': iterate=g_o.Steps[:] 
 #if step0=='' and step1!='': iterate=g_o.Steps[:int(step1)] 
 #if step1!='' and step1=='': iterate=g_o.Steps[int(step0):] 
 #if step1!='' and step1!='': iterate=g_o.Steps[int(step0):int(step1)] 
 for step in iterate : 
 if step . Reached . Mstage > 0 
 .....my code 
 
 This is very high time consuming since seems Plaxis try to load or find each step even if not saved. 
 Is there a way to create a list of the *ONLY* saved steps? 
 Thanks in advance, 
 Filippo

Dear Haifeng, 
 Not yet. Implementing a "better" approach takes significant time when things involve how we store and manipulate data. 
 We are working on it and moving forward, but it is still under development. 
 I can imagine that even 1 hour seems line 1 second in the face of doing things manually, which is already a big step with automation. In the future, we hope that this will be even faster.

Dear Filippo, 
 Unfortunately with the current implementation, this is not possible as all steps have (some) data, which can either be from (global) multipliers such as the Mstage or pure soil/structural data. 
 I have already reported this to our developers and it will be improved in the future. 
 If a step does not contain data, I would recommend using a try and except approach with Python so that your code does not stop running.
