I am relatively new to Python and need to run a python macro through Abaqus. I am opening files e.g "nonsym1, nonsym2, nonsym3". I'm trying to do this with a loop. The code opens nonsym1 (in abaqus) and performs some operations on it, then is supposed loop back and do the same to the other files. Here is the code I'm trying...
for i in range (1,10):
filename = 'nonsym(i)'
step = mdb.openStep(
'C:/Users/12345678/Documents/Inventor/Aortic Dissection/%s.stp' %filename,
scaleFromFile=OFF)
My main issue is coming from the fact that the %s in the directory I think?...
error message when trying to run this macro Don't know how to best approach this, so any help would be great thanks! Still learning!
Instead of using filename=nonsym1-2-3-..., name the step files as integers 1.stp,2.stp,3.stp and then convert integers to the string values with %str(i)...
And use the code below:
for i in range (1,10):
step = mdb.openStep(
'C:/Users/12345678/Documents/Inventor/Aortic Dissection/%s.stp' %str(i), scaleFromFile=OFF)
To obtain equal quantity of odb files, modify the Job code line as similiar as this code.

In original script there is part of code where is this
filepathsource='C:\Users\...';
strFP=dir([filepathsource '*.txt']);
Which works nicely.
Problem is that i need to change that filepathsource to some more dynamic so i did.
filepathsource=string(strcat(app.folderPath,'\',string(app.currentCount),'\'));
strFP=dir([filepathsource '*.txt']);
But i end with error
Error using dir
Name must be a text scalar.
And i need original formating because i get errors later in script. Is there any way how can i fix it? I tried everything but always is something somewhere wrong. And i just dont understand whats difference between original filepathsource and the one that i created bot are strings. (output of my filepathsource is correct when i display it)
I'm trying to find a possible way to convert PSS/E native .raw files to Pandapower format.
My objective is to take advantage of the network plotting capabilities that are available in Pandapower.
For that, I have to first be able to load my grid data into Pandapower.
For that, I have to somehow bridge the gap between PSSE .raw to Pandapower.
Literature says that a possible way of doing this is by using the 'psse2mpc' function available in Matpower.
I've tried to use it but I get the following error message:
(quote)
>> psse2mpc('RED1523.raw')
Reading file 'RED1523.raw' ............................................. done.
Splitting into individual lines ...error: regexp: the input string is invalid UTF-8
error: called from
psse_read at line 60 column 9
psse2mpc at line 68 column 21
(unquote)
I'was informed that maybe I should save my .raw file (natively generated with a PSSE/E v33 version) into an older .raw format (corresponding to previous PSS/E versions).
I've tried this as well but still have the same error message.
Apart from getting this error which so far impedes to reach my objective, I've been unable to guess the Pandapower "equivalent .raw" structure. Does anybody know how this input structure looks like in Pandapower?
If I would know how Pandapower needs to get the input data, I could even try to code a taylor-made python script that converts my .raw file into whatever is required from Pandapower.
If somebody could help me to get out of this labyrinth I would be most gratefull !!!
Thanks.
Eneko.
You need to check your .raw file to enter the other Inputs of the psse2mpc function. For instance, if I have the case39.raw file and I want to convert it to matpower format like case39mpc.m, then I must enter something like this:
psse2mpc ('case39.raw', 'case39mpc.m', '1', '29')
I'm trying to analyse TMS-EEG data from Nexstim with FieldTrip Toolbox. I want to make a trial matrix from my raw .nxe data. But how I know which triggers to assign for cfg.trialdef.eventvalue, when cfg is the output variable. I'm trying to mimic the same kind of code as you can find from the tutorial: http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/tms-eeg
I came up with a solution to the problem. With a command event = ft_read_event('filename.nxe') I got a struct with fields: type, value, sample, duration and offset and this is all I need.
I've been looking throught the documentation, but can't seem to find the bit I want.
I have a for loop and I would like to be able to view every value in the for loop.
for example here is a part of my code:
for d = 1 : nb
%for loop performs blade by blade averaging and produces a column vector
for cc = navg : length(atbmat);
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg;
atbvec2(:,cc) = atb2;
end
%assigns column vector 'atbvec2' to the correct column of the matrix 'atbmat2'
atbmat2(d,1:length(atbvec2)) = atbvec2;
end
I would like to view every value of atb2. I'm a python user(new to MATLAB) and would normally use a simple print statement to find this.
I'm sure there is a way to do it, but I can't quite find how.
Thankyou in advance.
you can use disp in Matlab to print to the screen but you might want to use sprintf first to format it nicely. However for debugging you're better off using a break point and then inspect the variable in the workspace browser graphically. To me, this is one of Matlab's best features.
Have a look at the "Examine Values" section of this article
The simplest way to view it everywhere is to change this line:
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg;
Into this, without semicolon:
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg
That being said, given the nature of your calculation, you could get the information you need as well by simply storing every value of abt2 and observing them afterwards. This may be done in atbmat2 already?
If you want to look at each value at the time it happens, consider setting a breakpoint or conditional breakpoint after the line where abt2 is assigned.
I have this ADO.NET command object and I can set some parameters and execute it successfully.
_mergecommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("values", SqlDbType.Structured));
_mergecommand.Parameters["values"].TypeName = "strlist";
_mergecommand.Parameters["values"].Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
_mergecommand.Parameters["values"].Value = valuelist;
_mergecommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
This works fine. But I want to prepare this command before executing it because I need to run this millions of times. I am using SQL Server 2008. I get this error if I try to prepare it
SqlCommand.Prepare method requires all variable length parameters to have an explicitly set non-zero Size.
Any idea how to do this?
This is old, but there does appear to be a correct answer which is to use -1 as the size, e.g.:
_mergecommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("values", SqlDbType.Structured, -1));
If you have to do it millions of times using a command like this is probably not a good strategy.
Can you serialize your data into an XML string and pass that as a single argument? That will be considerably less load on your network and SQL Server.... although it will probably hit your client a lot harder.
If you are dead set on doing it that way, maybe what you are looking for is an overload of the SqlCommand.Parameters.Add method:
_mergecommand.Parameters.Add("#values", System.Data.SqlDbType.NVarChar, 100).Value = foo;
is that more like what you wanted?
