Data references in the LSX file

You can also edit the layout data references directly in the exported .lsx file. Every data reference consists of blocks separated with the "|" symbol. The format of the different data reference is described below.

A data reference can be a single block or a sequence of blocks.

The sequence of blocks contains several sub-blocks separated with the semicolon (;) symbol.

XY plot data reference example

The data reference format for a plot in a post view containing Acoustic results is:

<DataReferenceList>      <Datareference DatareferenceId="1" DatareferenceType="Reference Result">      <!--Solution | Result reference neutral name-->      <![CDATA[VibroAcousticResponse:IBEM vibro-acoustics|VibroAcoustic]]>

where:

• VibroAcousticResponse:IBEM vibro-acoustics is the block that specifies the Solution

• VibroAcousticResponse is the solution's neutral type, the internal name for the selected analysis type

• IBEM vibro-acoustics is the name of the solution that the user provided in the Solution dialog box

• VibroAcoustic is the result reference

Scenario data reference example

The data reference format for a Motion Results scenario consists of two blocks:

• The data source list consists of all the data sources that the scenarios in the session use. For this Motion Results scenario, the single data source used was a Motion .mres results file. It has no options.  where:D:\motion_results\wheelloader_bucketload-3d_contact.mres is the path to the data sourcewheelloader_bucketload-3d_contact is the name the user entered when creating the data sourceFor this Motion Results scenario, the single data source was a Test.Lab (.lms files) file. It has two options to enable or disable its hierarchy and to set the level to which folder names are concatenated to simulate subcases. where:C:\Test\ModeShapeTL\snow_mobile.lms is the path to the data sourcesnow_mobile is the name the user entered when creating the data source1; enables the hierarchy Test.Lab.HierarchyLevelForSubcase:5 is the level to which the folder names are concatenated

• A layout state list consists of the different layout states, the active states, and the scenarios in them. where the data definition references the data sources listed in DataSourceList.

Data references for different result types

The result type is defined by the type of result source, and each type has a specific definition of the data reference.

The table below lists the various available result types and their corresponding data reference blocks and data reference strings.

Data references for XY plots

Multiple curves can exist in a single XY plot. The data of the curve can originate from different locations, which are listed in the table. You can edit each curve.

XY Plot Type	Data Reference Blocks	Data Reference String Example
Associated and user AFU	AFU file path, Record name	C:\test.afu
Sort2 OP2 files	OP2 file path, dataset name, Record name	C:\test.op2
XY data from a field	Part, Field,Independent variable, constant independent variable list Part, Field, Dependent variable, Independent variable list, constant independent variable list Note: The independent variable of the plot must be specified to define the data. If the field has more degrees of freedom, a list of independent variables with their constant values is also needed.	C:\test.op2
XYZ data from a field	Part, Field, Dependent variable, Independent variable list, constant independent variable listNote: The dependent variable and two independent variables must be specified to define the data of an XYZ plot. If the field has more degrees of freedom, a list of variables with their constant values is also needed.	fem1
XY data from a boundary condition	Solution, Solution Step, List Of Boundary Conditions, Node, Element, Element face, Element edge, Multiple matches optionNote: The multiple matches option indicates how the data is to be combined if more than one data set is available.	SOL 401:MPStructural
Result Probe	Result probe	StressAtSingleNodeAcrossTimersteps
