Examples

For an example that includes information about interfaces, see this example. To view the examples, refer to the location of the 'Install_Path\Motion\Document\Postprocessor API for Python.zip' file.

# IOperationsVectorDisplayBaseViewModel.py
import sys

# Get the current file's path and set the path for external modules.
current_dir = __file__.rsplit('\\', 1)[0]
external_modules_path = current_dir + '\\..\\..\\Modules'

# Import necessary modules
from OperationAPI import *

# Start the headless application interface

# Import result file

# Set array about result file

filepaths.Add(result_file_path)

# Open about result files
# This will open the result file in the application.
# When the result is first opened, a Page is created and an Animation View is created on that Page.
applicationHandler.AddDocument(filepaths)

# Get all created pages.
# This retrieves all pages created in the application.

if viewCount > 0 :
    # result_file_path - Get the document from the result file path.

    # This retrieves the analysis result from the document.
    # Types of Analysis Results
    # - Dynamics
    # - Eigenvalue
    # - Statics
    analysis = document.GetAnalysisResultViewModel(AnalysisResultType.Dynamics)

    # Create Vector Display

    vector.LabelTextColor = OperationAPIService.GetColorFrameRGB(0,0,0)
    vector.IsVisible = True
    vector.SetCharacteristic("Base Torque")

# Get all created pages.
# This retrieves all pages created in the application.
