OpenMatrix is a mathematical scripting language.
Returns the index of a component for a given data type using the 3D CAE Readers. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there are no subcases and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the valid components for a given data type using the 3D CAE Readers. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there are no subcases and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the name of a component for a given data type using the 3D CAE Readers. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there are no subcases and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the element index for a given file and element name.
Returns the valid elements for a given file using the 3D CAE Readers.
Returns the element name for a given file and element index.
Returns the node index for a given file and node name.
Returns the valid nodes for a given file using the 3D CAE Readers.
Returns the node name for a given file and node index.
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 the second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns the number of elements in a file.
Returns the number of nodes in a file.
Returns the number of subcases in a file.
Returns the number of data types in a file. By default the first subcase is used.
Returns the subcase index for a given file and subcase name.
Returns the valid subcases for a given file using the 3D CAE Readers.
Returns the subcase name for a given file and subcase index.
Returns a list of time steps in a file using the 3D CAE Readers. By default, the first subcase is used.
Return the index of a datatype in a data file using the 3D CAE Readers. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there are no subcases and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Returns a list of data types in a file using the 3D CAE Readers. By default, the first subcase is used.
Gets the name of a data type from its index using the 3D CAE Readers. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there are no subcases and second form when there are multiple subcases.
Reads data from a given file using the 3D CAE Readers. readcae3d uses the CAE readers provided with Activate that require access to model information, such as corner data, averaging method, layer and coordinate system.
The data read through readcae3d , and meta data read through readcae3d, gettypename3d,gettypelist3d, gettypeindex3d,getcompname3d, getcomplist3d and getcompindex3d 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.
Describes all of the blocks in the installed Activate library.
