Extracting a single calculated result

You can calculate a result based on the entire result data set, or you can limit the data to a specific region, such as the cavity region, the runner region, or even a single element. The results are displayed using the utility screen output and written to a single-value result file (study_name.val) in the associated study folder.

There are three pieces of information that are required to perform this type of extraction:

the study name, <study>; you can identify this by right-clicking on the specific study in the Project pane, and recording the File name, including the file extension (*.sdy*).
the result ID, <result ID> ; you can find this in the results.dat file, see later.
the type of calculation you are interested in; the options are listed in the table below.

The command line call to extract a single calculated result is:

studyrlt <study> -result <result ID>  -min|-max|-average|-stddev|-count|-statistics
                             -node <node number>|-element <element number>
                             [-frame <frame_number>|<low>:<high>|first|last|all]
                             [-layer <layer name>|-cavity|-gate|-runner|-sprue]
                             [-component <number> [-anchor <node1> <node2> <node3>]
                             [-unit SI|Metric|English]

where the arguments are defined as follows:

Arguments	Description
<study>	Study filename with extension.
-result <result ID>	Extract a numerical value from the specified result set.
-min	Calculate the minimum value of the result data set. Important: Not available for Result ID 1740 (air traps for Dual Domain/Midplane model), which is classified as a highlight data type (HLDT).
-max	Calculate the maximum value of the result data set. Important: Not available for Result ID 1740 (air traps for Dual Domain/Midplane model), which is classified as a highlight data type (HLDT).
-average	Calculate the average value of the result data set. Important: Not available for Result ID 1740 (air traps for Dual Domain/Midplane model), which is classified as a highlight data type (HLDT).
-stddev	Calculate the standard deviation value of the result data set. Important: Not available for Result ID 1740 (air traps for Dual Domain/Midplane model), which is classified as a highlight data type (HLDT).
-statistics	Return the following statistical values: minumum, maximum, average, standard deviation and count. Note:: if the result contains more than one result frame then only the minimum and maximum values are calculated.
-count	Count the number of entities of the result data set. Note: For result ID 1722 (weld line) and 1732 (weld and meld line), the number counted by is the number of segments in the weld line or weld/meld line. For result ID 1622 (air traps, 3D model) and 1740 (air traps, Dual Domain/Midplane model), the number counted is the number of air trap locations. For all other NDDT and ELDT results, the -count option counts the number of entities for the specified result ID
-node <node number>	Return the result value at a specified node (Example : -node 57). Important: Not available for Result ID 1740 (air traps for Dual Domain/Midplane model), which is classified as a highlight data type (HLDT).
-element <element number>	Return the result value at a specified element (Example: -element 23). Important: Not available for Result ID 1740 (air traps for Dual Domain/Midplane model), which is classified as a highlight data type (HLDT).
-frame	For time series (multi-frame) result datasets specify the frame or frame range to do the calculations. The range can set in a number of ways frame_number Specify a single frame (eg. -frame 3) first Specify the first frame (eg. -frame first This is equivalent to -frame 1) last Specify the last frame (eg. -frame last) all Specify all frames (eg. -frame all) low:high Specify a frame range (eg. -frame 1:4 or -frame first:last) Note: Frame values exceeding the number of result frames are set to the maximum number of result frames automatically
-layer <layer name>	Only consider results in the selected layer. Important: Not available for Result ID 1722 (weld line), 1732 (weld and meld line), 1622 (air traps, 3D model), or 1740 (air traps, Dual Domain/Midplane model).
-cavity	Only consider results in the cavity region. Important: Not available for Result ID 1722 (weld line), 1732 (weld and meld line), 1622 (air traps, 3D model), or 1740 (air traps, Dual Domain/Midplane model).
-gate	Only consider results in the gate region. Important: Not available for Result ID 1722 (weld line), 1732 (weld and meld line), 1622 (air traps, 3D model), or 1740 (air traps, Dual Domain/Midplane model).
-runner	Only consider results in the runner region. Important: Not available for Result ID 1722 (weld line), 1732 (weld and meld line), 1622 (air traps, 3D model), or 1740 (air traps, Dual Domain/Midplane model).
-sprue	Only consider results in the sprue region. Important: Not available for Result ID 1722 (weld line), 1732 (weld and meld line), 1622 (air traps, 3D model), or 1740 (air traps, Dual Domain/Midplane model).
-component <number>	Component of the result data set to be extracted: 0 = Magnitude (default) 1 = X, 2 = Y, 3 = Z Note: Only applicable to vector-based results
-anchor <node1> <node2> <node3>	Apply anchor plane defined by nodes 1,2 and 3 Note: Only applicable to warpage results.
-unit <unit system>	Show results in the specified unit system: SI (default) Metric English
