Custom results output allows you to pass MotionSolve
results directly to a user-written subroutine denoted by POST_SUB.
MotionSolve calls POST_SUB at every successful integration time step
which uses the MotionSolve Result API for generating the
results in a customized format. You have access to the same data as passed to the
MotionSolve MRF file (shown here in HyperGraph) via POST_SUB, as shown in the image below.Figure 1. HyperGraph Panel for POST_SUB Access
Add the <Post_UserAPI/> element to the MotionSolve XML input file.

Write a POST_SUB:
Figure 3. Code in POST_SUB
From within POST_SUB, call access functions to get the states of selected entity types.
These access functions are:
c_get_post_states
c_getnumid
c_getidlist
as shown in the image below. Valid entity types are
PART, POINT_MASS, FLEX_BODY, and REQUEST.
