Plastic points in Python

Question

Hi, 
 Does anyone know how to change the following Plaxis 2D 2019 Output command line code to Python code - 
 getresults Phase_1 ResultTypes.Soil.PlasticPointTypeText "Stresspoint" 
 I'm trying to export the plastic point data data for a large amount of simulations and I'd like to use Python to do it, just like I have been for other types of data (e.g. principle stress, strain, etc.). I tried this syntax 
 PPTT = g_o.getresults(g_o.Phase_1, g_o.ResultTypes.Soil.PlasticPointTypeText,"Stresspoint") 
 but got the following error when the Python script ran - 
 Traceback (most recent call last): File "ExportPlasticPoints_v00.py", line 69, in <module> PPTT = g_o.getresults(g_o.Phase_1, g_o.ResultTypes.Soil.PlasticPointTypeText,"Stresspoint") File "C:\Program Files\Plaxis\PLAXIS 2D\python\lib\site-packages\plxscripting\plxproxy.py", line 229, in __getattr__ "Requested attribute '{}' is not present".format(attr_name)) AttributeError: Requested attribute 'PlasticPointTypeText' is not present 
 The plastic point history data exports ok with Python using the names in the output objects manual (e.g. PlasticPointHistoryMohrCoulomb), but I'd prefer the plastic point data for at the end of a phase only and not all plastic points up to that point. Any help appreciated. 
 Thank you, 
 Craig

Hi Craig, You can use the option ResultTypes.Soil.PlasticPoint This ResultTypes.Soil.PlasticPointTypeText is a remainder from older implementations and is actually internally using the ResultTypes.Soil.PlasticPoint to fetch the data. So this should work in PLAXIS 2D 2019: 
 
 # select the phase:
phase = g_o.Phase_1

# select the resulttype:
resulttype = g_o.ResultTypes.Soil.PlasticPoint

# select nodal or stress point data:
source = "Stresspoint"

# get the results
PPTT = g_o.getresults(phase, resulttype, source)
