This worksheet is used to select the definition of databases and load cases, and to select a sub-set of load cases that shall be post-processed. Two data must be entered “manually” (they appear in blue in the worksheet):
The name of the worksheet in which the definition of databases and load cases is provided.
The name of a worksheet containing a selection of load cases and defining the associated parameters.
The worksheet also defines several automation buttons:
“ReadDbAndLoadCases” is used to read the definition of databases and load cases, and the selection of load cases and parameters. The names of the two corresponding worksheets must first be defined in the appropriate cells below the “ReadDbAndLoadCases” button. This button is the first to use after opening the workbook. Indeed, this button initializes lists of load cases and databases in the “LcSelector” worksheet and several variables in “DbAndLoadCases” module.
The ComboBox allows manual selection and calculation of a load case.
The “ArchiveResults” button can be used to manually archive the calculated Results in a separate workbook.
The “ReinitArchiveResults” button reinitializes all the VBA variables related to the archiving of calculated Results.
The “WriteGmshFiles” button performs the writing of Results in GMSH files.
The “ReinitGmshFilesList” clears all the variables related to the archiving of Results into GMSH files.
The “LoopOnLoadCases” button performs the calculations for all the selected load cases and archives the Results in a separate workbook.
“Reinit FeResPost Objects” button re-inits all the variables defined in the VBA project, which restarts from scratch.
“Debug Current Load Case” button prints in the standard output file debugging information about the current load case.
More information on the archiving of Results and the creation of GMSH files is provided in the sections devoted to the corresponding VBA modules.
