Script to export each domain separately

Hello,
I need to export each domain in my mesh as a PLOT3D file separately. With many domains this can be a really cumbersome task. Is there a script I could run for this? |

you can create your own script.
As a guide, export one or two domains by hand with journaling. Script, Begin Journaling... Export one or two domains to Plot3D by hand. Script, End Journaling Using this journal as a guide, you can write a script that will grab all domains in model and then export them one by one. See Glyph docs here. Example Glyph scripts here. See also pw::Grid getAll -type pw::DomainStructured to capture structured domains. |

Thank you. I have consulted those sources and created a script based on the journal. Is there a for loop or something similar so that I can loop through all structured domains instead of changing the domain name every time? Also, is there a way to set a variable so that I can save a file based on the domain name?

I have attached a skeleton script that you can edit. It loops over all the structured domains in a grid.
I also added a few personal "best practices" to the script for your consideration. Good luck. Code:
# Load the Pointwise Glyph library package require PWI_Glyph #============================================================================ # Set up the global environment #============================================================================ # Capture the directory in which the is located set scriptDir [file dirname [info script]] if { ![info exists argv] } { # must be running from the Pointwise GUI set argc 0 set argv[list] } #============================================================================ # Define procs #============================================================================ #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- proc main { argv } { # if run from the command line, you can pass arguments processArgs $argv # Capture a list of all structured domains in the current grid set allStrDoms [pw::Grid getAll -type pw::DomainStructured] # loop through domains and export one at a time foreach strDom $allStrDoms { doExport $strDom } } #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- proc processArgs { argv } { # Add command line processing here if needed # for now, just print all args to console if { 0 == [llength $argv] } { puts "No command line arguments found." } else { puts "argv:" foreach arg $argv { puts " '$arg'" } } } #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- proc doExport { strDom } { set domName [$strDom getName] # Be careful. The domain name MUST be only contain valid filename chars or the # export will fail! # The filename is in the same folder as the script. set filename [file join $::scriptDir "$domName.x"] puts "Exporting $filename ..." ##### ##### put grid export code here ##### } #============================================================================ # Invoke main AFTER all data and procs have been defined. #============================================================================ main $argv #============================================================================ # NOTE: # Calling main as the starting point of a script is a personal preference. # It is not required by Glyph or Tcl. You could also just put the code from main # here at the end. I just like having main as the first proc in a script. #============================================================================ |
