VII.4.3.5 “ResultsGmsh” VBA module

This module is used in the management of Results to be saved in GMSH files. To some extent, this module is similar to “ResultsArchiver” VBA module: it manages a outputsList module collection that contains the characteristics of Results to be saved, and the Results themselves.

One difference with “ResultsArchiver” VBA module is that the methods of “ResultsGmsh” are never called directly from the post-processing worksheets. Instead, methods from other VBA modules in the project call the methods of “ResultsGmsh”. For example, nearly all the methods of “ExtractionCriteria” module use “ResultsGmsh” to save envelope of Results in GMSH files. Indirectly, the user defines associated parameters in optional arguments of the post-processing functions defined in “ExtractionCriteria” module. (See section VII.4.4.)

The module defines several global variables:

• “sqliteLibDirName” contains the path to the directory containing the “SQLite3” shared libraries. This variable must be adapted to match your installation.
• “globOutputList” contains the envelopes of Results calculated for the current selection of load cases.
• “locOutputList” contains the envelopes of Results for the current load case.
• “sqlDbName” contains the name of the SQLite3 database in which Results are stored for each load case.
• “sqlDbHandle” is a handle (pointer) to the current SQLite3 database.
