With the released versions of PLAXIS 2D 2017 and 3D 2017, an improvement was made in structuring the properties for Phase and Step objects in PLAXIS Output program.
Below you will find more details regarding the changes in the objects in Output and how to view the value for the new objects using the command line.
The Phase and Step objects have the same properties in Output program. For simplicity, in this article, we will only write about the Phase object.
The main change in the Phase object concerns the rearranging of the properties to fit a better object structure related to the type of value provided: two new child-objects are created with the following names:
These two new objects can be easily inspected by using the echo command for a specific phase, e.g. echo Phase_6
The InputSettings object contains all the information regarding the settings defined in Input program. For instance, this includes the following settings:
For more information, you can run the following command in the command line, e.g.: echo Phase_6.InputSettings
The Reached object contains all the calculation information for a phase including the following:
For more information, you can run the following command in the command line, e.g.: echo Phase_6.Reached
The changes in the Phase and Step object affects the commands used to retrieve any of the values that belong to these objects.
Below you can find some examples on how to retrieve the values in 2D 2017 and PLAXIS 3D 2017 using the command line in comparison to the old command with previous versions:
