I have a model of a heating process on Ansys Multiphysics, V11.
After running the simulation, I have a script to plot a temperature profile:
!---------------- POST PROCESSING -----------------------
/post1 ! tdatabase postprocessor
!---define profile temperature
path,s_temp1,2,,100 ! define a path
ppath,1,,dop/2,0,0 ! create a path point
ppath,2,,dop/2,1.5,0 ! create a path point
PDEF,surf_t1,TEMP, ,noav ! print a path
plpath,surf_t1 ! plot a path
What I now need, is to save the resulting path in a text file. I have already looked online for a solution, and found the following code to do it, which I appended after the lines above:
/OUTPUT,filename,extension
PRPATH,surf_t1
/OUTPUT
Ansys generates the file filename.extension but it is empty. I tried to place the OUTPUT command in a few locations in the script, but without any success.
I suspect I need to define something else, but I have no idea where to look, as Ansys documentation online is terribly chaotic, and all internet pages I've opened before writing this question are not better.
A final note: Ansys V11 is an old version of the software, but I don't want to upgrade it and fit the old model to the new software.
For the output of the simulation (which includes all calculation steps, and sub-steps description and node-by-node results) the output must be declared in the beginning of the code, and not in the postprocessing phase.
Declaring
/OUTPUT,filename,extension
in the preamble of the main script makes such that the output is stored in the right location, with the desired extension. At the end of the scripts, you must then declare
/OUTPUT
to reset the output file location for ANSYS.
The output to the PATH call made in the postprocessing script is however not printed in the file.
It is convenient to use
*CFOPEN,file,ext
*VWRITE,Vector(1,1).Vector(1,2)
(2F12.6)
*CFCLOSE
where Vector(1,1) is a two column array created by *DIM, and stores your data to output to file
As this is a special command, run it from file i.e. macro_output.mac

How can I find out (with Windows a batch command), if, for example, a variable starts with ABC?
I know that I can search for variables if I know the whole content (if "%variable%"=="abc"), but I want that it only looks after the beginning.
I also need it to find out where the batch file is located, so if there is a other command that reveals the file's location, please let me know.
Use the variable substring syntax:
IF "%variable:~0,3%"=="ABC" [...]
If you need the path to the batch file without the batch file name, you can use the variable:
%~dp0
Syntax for this is explained in the help for the for command, although this variable syntax extends beyond just the for command syntax.
to find batch file location use %0 (gives full patch to current batch file) or %CD% variable which gives local directory
I just downloaded psychopy this morning and have spent the day trying to figure out how to work with builder view. I watched the youtube video "Build your first PsychoPy experiment (Stroop task)" by Jon Pierce. In his video he was explaining how to make a conditions file with excel that would be used in his experiment. I wanted to make a very similar test where images would appear and subjects would be required to give a yes or no answer to them (the correct answer is already predefined). In his conditions file he had the columns 'word' 'colour' and 'corrANS'. I was wondering if instead of a 'word' column, I can have an 'image' column. In this column I would like to upload all my images to them in the same way I would words, and have them correlated to a correct answer of either 'yes' or 'no'. We tried doing this and uploaded images to the conditions file, but we haven't had any success in running the test successfully and were hoping somebody could help us.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. we are not familiar with python, or code in general, so we were hoping to get this running using the builder view.
EDIT: Here is the error message we are receiving when running the program

Yes, certainly, that is exactly how PsychoPy is designed to work. Simply place the image names in a column in your conditions file. You can then use the name of that column in the Builder Image component's "Image" field. The appropriate image file for a given trial will be selected.
It is difficult to help you further, though, as you haven't specified what went wrong. "we haven't had any success" doesn't give us much to go on.
Common problems:
(1) Make sure you use full filenames, including extensions (.jpg, .png, etc). These aren't always visible in Windows at least I think, but they are needed by Python.
(2) Have the images in the right place. If you just use a bare filename (e.g. image01.jpg), then PsychoPy will expect that the file is in the same directory as your Builder .psyexp file. If you want to tidy the images away, you could put them in a subfolder. If so, you need to specify a relative path along with the filename (e.g. images/image01.jpg).
(3) Avoid full paths (starting at the root level of your disk): they are prone to errors, and stop the experiment being portable to different locations or computers.
(4) Regardless of platform, use forward slashes (/) not backslashes (\) in your paths.
make a new folder in H drive and fill in the column of image in psychopy as e.g. 'H:\psych\cat.jpg' it works for me
Am trying to use NEOS to solve a linear program using MPS input.
The MPS file is fine, but apparently you need a "paramaters file" as well to tell the solver what to do (min/max etc.). However I can't find any information on this online anywhere.
So far I have got NEOS to solve a maximization problem and display the objective function. However I cannot get it to display the variables.
Does anyone know what code I should add to the paramters file to tell NEOS/CBC to display the resulting variables?
The parameter file consists of a list of Cbc (standalone) commands in a file (one per line). The format of the commands is (quoting the documentation):
One command per line (and no -)
abcd? gives list of possibilities, if only one + explanation
abcd?? adds explanation, if only one fuller help(LATER)
abcd without value (where expected) gives current value
abcd value or abcd = value sets value
The commands are the following:
? dualT(olerance) primalT(olerance) inf(easibilityWeight)
integerT(olerance) inc(rement) allow(ableGap) ratio(Gap)
fix(OnDj) tighten(Factor) log(Level) slog(Level)
maxN(odes) strong(Branching) direction error(sAllowed)
gomory(Cuts) probing(Cuts) knapsack(Cuts) oddhole(Cuts)
clique(Cuts) round(ingHeuristic) cost(Strategy) keepN(ames)
scaling directory solver import
export save(Model) restore(Model) presolve
initialS(olve) branch(AndBound) sol(ution) max(imize)
min(imize) time(Limit) exit stop
quit - stdin unitTest
miplib ver(sion)
To see the solution values, you should include the line sol - after the min or max line of your parameter file.
If this doesn't work you can submit the problem to NEOS in AMPL format via this page. In addition to model and data files, it accepts a commands file where you can use statements to solve the problem and display the solution, for example:
solve;
display _varname, _var;
This post describes how to convert MPS to AMPL.
To run a CUDA C program we build the program and then run the binary file created from the command line as
/.prgm_bin_file
If for example the program needs some input files like for programs to image processing, I want to supply the data files or the input files at the time of compilation.
How can I do that. How the above command can be edited to give the required files.
Thanks in advance.
If your program opens data files to use for input, it's using some file I/O API to do so. For example, one possible method is to use fopen.
Just to use it as an example, if you are using fopen, it expects a filename (a character string) passed as the first parameter.
Many programs will take this filename from a the command line used to invoke the program. But there's nothing that would prevent you from hard-coding the filename:
fp=fopen("mydata", "r");
In that case, the program would always attempt to open the file mydata
But if your program is already designed to use the filename as a command line parameter, it's not clear that this is any more useful than just invoking your program that way:
./prgm_bin_file mydata
I am new to stackoverflow, but I got a lot of help until now, thanks to the community for that.
I'm trying to create a software showing me caller depandencys for legacycode.
I'parsing a directory with c code with pycparcer, and for each file i want to create a subgraph with pydot.
Two questions:
When parsing a c file, the parser references the #includes, an i get also functions in my AST, from the included files. How can i know, if the function is included, or originaly from this actual file/ or ignore the #includes??
For each file i want to create a subgraph, an then add all functions in this file to this subgraph. I don't know how many subgraphs i have to create...
I have a set of files, where each file is a frozenset with the functions of this file
somthing like this is pssible?
for files in SetOfFiles:
#how to create subgraph with name of files?
for function in files:
self.graph.add_node(pydot.Node(funktion)) #--> add node to subgraph "files"
I hope you got my challange... any ideas?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I solved the question about pydot, it was quiet easy... So I stay with my pycparser problem :(
for files in ListOfFuncs:
cluster_x = pydot.Cluster(files, label=files)
for functions in files:
cluster_x.add_node(pydot.Node(functions))
graph.add_subgraph(cluster_x)
I can address the pycparser part. The preprocessor leaves #line directives that specify which file & line code came for, and pycparser consumes those. You can get that information from the AST it creates (see tests for an example).
