How can I extract results from rigid body over all calculation phases?

Hello Ren,

Indeed, this is reported to be fixed in the future. I have added your feedback, too.

Currently, you can utilize Python scripting to collect all the information with a single for-loop over all the phases in which the rigid body is active.

This feature was known to be available. However, one can only acquire results per 1 phase in this table. If you want to get an overview over all calculated phases, one must close this window, select a next phase and then open the results rigid body window again. This is super time-consuming. It would be better if you would be able to get results for the rigid body over all phases in 1 window.

Hello Sangeet,

Of course, in Output we have a dedicated menu that gives the data in a table as shown below:

Hi Stefanos,

On this same note, is there any way the step results for each phase in a rigid body (rotation values in particular) saved anywhere so that I can access and plot the rotation w.r.t prescribed Moment or vice versa. Thank you very much in anticipation.

Regards

Sangeet

Dear Rene,

You can use our command line or the Python scripting facility!

Then it is a matter of preparing the set of commands for either case and re-run it for any project you have with rigid bodies.
