Identifying the result ID

The result ID is the unique identifier for a result. Reference to result IDs is in the file results.dat, which is located in the data folder of the program installation folder. To help you understand it, the header of the file provides detailed information on the data block structure.

To determine the result ID, copy the name of the result of interest as it appears in the Results section of the Study Tasks pane, for example, Fill Time, or Temperature at flow front,, then open the results.dat file and search it for the copied result name. This will provide you with the result ID.

The results.dat file is located in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Simulation Moldflow Synergy 20xx\data\dat\results.dat

A typical data block in the results.dat file might look like this:

NDDT
{
  1610 
  NAME
  {
    "Fill time"
  }
  DEPT
  {
    "Fill time"
    "s"
  }
  PLTD
  {
    "DG[100]"
  }
}

where

• NDDT means it is nodal data,
• Fill Time is the name of the result you searched,
• 1610 is the result ID you are looking for,
• the result SI unit is s or seconds.

You can also identify the result ID using the following API script:

Option Explicit
Dim Syn, Plot, Viewer, RID
Set Syn = CreateObject("synergy.Synergy")
Set Viewer = Syn.Viewer()
Set Plot = Viewer.ActivePlot()
RID = Plot.GetDataID()
MsgBox "Result ID " & RID
