Reading .req files using python

Hey all,

I was wondering if someone has made a python script to read out .req files, and is willing to share his code, before i start to reinvent the wheel.

Example of my req. file:

Timestep value start at row 6 and the request results are shown on row 7 and 8.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Niels,

There are some scripts in our SimCompanion site that might be a good place to start:

HTH,

This may also be helpful though what Kent shared is more generic and therefore more useful:

Utility to remove "extra" time blocks from request files

Thanks,

If you start writing something new:

Why bother with the old req-format and not using the res-files with the xrf-option (xml format) ?

The advantage is that it already contains all the naming and hierachy that the req doesn't have or needs to add via nam-files.

Plus:

For flex-bodies, you'd need a res-file anyway, wich is basically 90% of our models.

And there's plenty of code on the net for xml-reading ....

@Martin Kieltsch Because of the file size. .res files are much larger compared to .req files. Atm i saved 1000+ sim results in .req format which is only ~1GB. Saving this in .res format would results in ~100+GB

@Martin Kieltsch Ah i just found out you can actually select/deselect what you want to save in the .res file, which would results in the same file size, oops :P

Anyway, i got my python scripts working with .req files now, but i keep this .res option in mind, thanks!
