User-defined post-processing scenario examples

Examples of user-defined post-processing scenarios that illustrate the functionality are available in:

%UGII_BASE_DIR%\ugopen\SampleNXOpenApplications<language_specific_folder>\CAE\UserDefinedScenarios

where language_specific_folder refers to the language, Python, DotNet, CPP, or Java.

To load the example scenarios, see Deploying user-defined post-processing scenarios. Example data files are in the same folder as the scenarios and you can use them when trying the example scenarios. The data files must be added as external data files in the Scenario Based Data Visualization Navigator to successfully match with the examples provided.

Relations Scenario

This scenario merges the selection variables coming from different data sources and overrides the default selection of the data definition to match the data coming from different data sources. Resulting data is then shown in stacked plots.

RelationsScenario.cpp

RelationsScenario.py

RelationsScenario.xml

Data file: VibroAcousticDataSample1.op2

VibroAcousticDataSample2.op2

Averaging Scenario

This scenario produces the arithmetic and geometric average for the values of the intersected independents data. It displays them separately in two XY plots.

AveragingScenario.cs

Data file: FunctionDataSample.unv

Scaling and Summation Scenario

This scenario uses three configuration variables, scaling and summation toggles, and the scaling factor value that can be used if the scaling toggle is enabled. If scaling is enabled, it scales the selected data with the given factor (edited or default). If summation is enabled, it sums the values of the intersected independents data, representing everything in a XY plot with the summing in a thicker curve.

ScalingAndSummationScenario.cs

ScalingAndSummationScenario.py

Data file: FunctionDataSample.unv

Contour Plot Scenario

This scenario creates a 3D plot with results on elements or nodes.

ContourPlotScenario.py

Data file: SpatialResultsDataSample.op2

Multiple Visualisations Scenario

This scenario exemplifies viewing the same data in multiple visualization types, in this case, a XY plot, a vector plot, and a bar chart.

MultipleVisualizationsScenario.java

Data file: FunctionDataSample.unv
