“extractResultOnEntities” method is used to extract a sub-set of keys and values from an existing Result object. The method returns the newly created Result object. The method has up to four arguments:
The two last arguments are optional. Note that the “Method” argument described above is the same as the “Method” argument of the DataBase member method “getResultCopy” described in section I.1.3. Please refer to that part of the manual for more information on valid extraction data.
This method works for Real as well as for Complex Results.
“Elements” | All the values associated to the elements of Group “Target” are inserted in the values of the returned Result object. This means that the new Result contains both values at center of element and at corners. |
“ElemCenters” | All the values associated to the elements of Group “Target” but not associated to any node are inserted in the values of the returned Result object. This means that the extraction returns only values at center of the elements. |
“ElemCorners” | All the values associated to the elements of Group “Target” and associated to any node are inserted in the values of the returned Result object. The extraction returns only values at corner of the elements. Note that the list of nodes of the “Target” Group is irrelevant for this extraction operation. |
“Nodes” | All the values associated to the nodes of Group “Target” are inserted in the values of the returned Result object. |
“NodesOnly” | All the values associated to the nodes of Group “Target” but associated to no elements are inserted in the values of the returned Result object. |
“ElemNodes” | All the values associated to the elements of Group “Target” AND to the nodes of the same Group are inserted in the values of the returned Result object. This means that the new Result contains only values at corners of elements. |
“MPCs” | All the values associated to the MPCs (RBEs) of Group “Target” are inserted in the values of the returned Result object. (This extraction method has been added to deal with Grid Point Forces MPC Forces or Moments Results when the “RIGID=LAGR” option is used.) |
“MPCNodes” | All the values associated to the MPCs (RBEs) of Group “Target” AND to the nodes of the same Group are inserted in the values of the returned Result object. This means that the new Result contains only values at corners of elements.
