rpt file script

[MaryWuh]

Hi

I would like to write a script to get .rpt file with a summed RF3 at Set-1.

I have previously created a history Output Request to get RF3 at Set-1:

mdb.models['Model-1'].historyOutputRequests['H-Output-1'].setValues(rebar=
EXCLUDE, region=mdb.models['Model-1'].rootAssembly.sets['Set-1'],
sectionPoints=DEFAULT, variables=('RF3', 'IRF3', 'ALLAE', 'ALLCD',
'ALLDMD', 'ALLEE', 'ALLFD', 'ALLIE', 'ALLJD', 'ALLKE', 'ALLKL', 'ALLPD',
'ALLQB', 'ALLSE', 'ALLSD', 'ALLVD', 'ALLWK', 'ETOTAL'))

Any ideas? - thank you!

That is not hard.
Do it first as described below in the UI and then look into the .rpy file for the Python commands.

Use the Display Group to only show the set you are interested at. Switch also to the step+result frame you want it for. Then got to Report -> Field Output. Use "Unique Nodal" and chosse the variable. Also have a look at all other options in this dialog. The important thing is the option "Column totals". With this you will get the sum of each variable for the displayed region written to the file.

If you just want to know the summed value, then you have also other options. Maybe you can use a coupling to get everything at the reference node. Or I can upload a script I have, that does the calculation and prints out the result in the message area. It would be easy to modify it to write it also into a file.
