Example:
Is it possible to determine whether the following analysis results are below the allowable values using APIs, DOS prompts, etc.?
a. Determine if the analysis result (Press. Ratio) of the Flange Check analysis is less than 1.0 (See figure below)
b. Determine if the Hydrostatic Test analysis results (Maximum sustained stress ratio,
Maximum displacement stress ratio, Maximum hoop stress ratio) are less than 1.00 (See
figure below)
Maximum displacement stress ratio, Maximum hoop stress ratio) are less than 1.00 (See
figure below)
Answer:
This involves post-processing the results obtained from AutoPIPE. Currently, there is no direct method to further process these results to achieve the desired outcome as described in the steps above. However, there is an alternative approach:
1. Use the Batch Generator tool by navigating to Tools > Tools > Batch Generator, as shown
2. Specify the model directory, select the analysis type you want to perform, and under File Generation, choose the Results DB file.
3. Alternatively, you can execute the same process using the DOS prompt commands provided in the Knowledge Base (KB) link here.
4. Once the DB file is generated, you can manipulate the results as needed within the DB file.
Please note that generating results through the Data API in AutoPIPE is a feature currently under development and will be available in a future release. In the meantime,
we recommend submitting your idea on the Bentley Ideas Portal link here. This will allow other users to support your suggestion and ensure you receive updates from the Program Manager through the portal.
