CMC Analysis Output

[Ali Khalilianmotamed Bonab]

To whom it may concern,
I am setting some analysis in CMC setting XML file to get the data, however, when I am running the simulation, results of some analysis are missing and they are not printed by CMC.

Code: Select all

Could you please help me about the reason of this issue?
Sincerely,
Ali.

You should check the message window to see whether there is some hint why the analyses are not used.

Alternatively, you could use the Analyze Tool after executing CMC.

The Problem is that there is no error to check why it is not working, the only issue that may cause a problem is that , as you can see in below, I set three analysis and two unnamed analysis were set by cmc itself.

Code: Select all

ANALYSES (total: 5)
analysis[0] = MuscleAnalysis
analysis[1] = Kinematics
analysis[2] = Actuation
analysis[3] = Un-named analysis.
analysis[4] = Un-named analysis.

We are doing more than one simulations and adding another step like analysis will make the simulations time more time consuming, that's why I was trying to use cmc analysis part.

There may be some error in the definition of the analyses. You can try using the analyze tool to export the .xml file and copy these sections into the CMC setup file.
