OpenMatrix is a mathematical scripting language.
Extracts specific subcase-type-request-component selections from the result of readmultvectors command.
Returns the index of a component for a given data type. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the valid components for a given data type. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the name of a component for a given data type. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the component list for a given data type and request. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns a list of data types in a file, excludes time.
Returns the number of components within a given data type. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the number of requests for a given data type. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the number of data types in a file. By default the first subcase is used.
Returns the index of a request for a given data type. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns a list requests for a given data type. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the name of a request within a data type. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the index of a subcase.
Returns a list of all subcases within a file.
Returns the name of a subcase in a file.
Returns a list of time steps associated with the given subcase, type, request, and component.
Returns total count of subcases in a data file.
Return the index of a datatype in a data file. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns a list of data types in a file. By default, the first subcase is used.
Gets the name of a data type from its index. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns a list of supported units for a given unittype.
Returns supported unit types.
Reads data from a given file. readcae uses the CAE readers provided with Activate and supports a large set of file formats.
Reads a file and display its table of contents (data structure) in a hierarchical way using nested cells. Files are read using the CAE readers provided with Activate, which support a large set of file formats.
Reads data from a given file. readmultvectors uses the CAE readers provided with Activate and supports a large set of file formats. The function has two main forms. See the Comments section for more information on these forms.
Returns a cell with the unit type and unit associated with the subcase, datatype, request and component of a given file.
Reads data vector from a file. The data is organized in terms of subcase, type, request, and component. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and use the second form when there are multiple subcases.
Releases data from memory after using the functions readvectors, readmultvectors or readcae. The function has two forms and take similar arguments as readvector.
The data read through readvectors, readcae , readmultvectors and metadata read through getsubcaselist, gettypelist, getreqlist, getcomplist and readfiletoc is not necessarily auto-released from memory when the vectors they were assigned to are emptied. They can be released explicitly, though, as shown below.
