Post processing in ICEPAK using pyaedt

[pruthvi1991]

Hi, pru here using pyaedt for automating my icepak simulations. I have setup a conduction only simulation with several heat sources. The heat sources are assigned to objects inside a larger object i.e the heat source object resides within a much larger 'substrate' object. I would like to extract the following information using the postprocessing module:

1. min,avg,max temperature inside each of the heat source objects
2. temperature trace along a polyline (already defined)

I would like to extract this data and plot it using matplotlib. I read the documentation however could not figure out how to get this info.

Help appreciated!

I'm pasting here some code used in another example, but that should suit your request, please adapt to your needs. Let me know if you need anything else.

report = ipk.post.create_report(
    expressions=["Temperature", "Speed"],
    context=line.name,
    primary_sweep_variable="Distance",
    report_category="Fields",
    polyline_points=500,
)
report_data = report.get_solution_data()
distance = [k[0] for k, _ in report_data.full_matrix_mag_phase[0]["Temperature"].items()]
temperature = [v for _, v in report_data.full_matrix_mag_phase[0]["Temperature"].items()]
speed = [v for _, v in report_data.full_matrix_mag_phase[0]["Speed"].items()]

# Plot the data

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
sc = ax.scatter(distance, speed, c=temperature)
ax.grid()
ax.set_xlabel("Distance [mm]")
ax.set_ylabel("Speed [m/s]")
cbar = fig.colorbar(sc)
cbar.set_label("Temperature [cel]")

Hi, thanks for sharing your example. Is this from the documentation? I tried it and it works. I'm going to modify it more for my needs.

Hi, it is from a new example that will be published soon.
