printing the maestro expression outputs from a skill script after sims are done

ZA202503062023

I am having an issue accessing the output expressions in a maestro run.

Here is my script: Ignore the plot commands, when they did not work. I tried to print out the expression value to debug

I can try rebuilding the expression here but I am guessing there must be a way to access it?

The plot commands will work if I try to plot voltage or current signals

Thanks

; example load in ciw
; load("~/plot_eff_all.ocn")

for(i 1 16

; set up results path
resDir=strcat("/simulated/scratch/projects/xxx/"
"dfII/simulation/proj_TB/projeff/"
"maestro/effcurves.1.RO/"
sprintf(nil "%d" i)
"/config/psf")


openResults(resDir)
selectResults('tran)

; This does not work
eff_n = calcVal("eff_nominal" "config")

;test
;eff_n = 2.5
printf("nominal eff: %f\n",eff_n);

; this works and I use it a lot but I guess it is because I am accessing a voltage or current transient waveform as opposed to an expression output
;plot(v("/vramp_ph1" ?result "tran"))

; Evaluate expression using calcVal (best for named expressions)
;my_expression = calcVal("expression_name" "testname")
;my_eff = calcVal("eff_nominal" "config")
;plot(my_eff)

    This won't work because calcVal needs the context of ADE Explorer/Assembler for it to work. The above is only looking at the psf database and so there's no understanding of tests or the "rdb" results database.

    Please contact customer support (use the case menu to submit a support case) on this so that somebody can investigate more thoroughly and see if there's a way of solving what you want. You might be better off using the maeReadResDB() function to retrieve the result data rather than calcVal() since the results you are trying to access are already computed scalar values by the looks of things.

    Thanks. Let me look up the maeReadResDB() function
