ProbeReport object

The ProbeReport object is used to store settings associated with tabular reports of probe data. The ProbeReport object has no constructor. Abaqus creates the defaultProbeReport and the probeReport members when you import the Visualization module. When probing is initiated for the first time, the values in the probeReport member are initialized using the values from the defaultProbeReport member.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

import visualization
session.defaultProbeReport
session.probeReport

setValues(...)

This method modifies the ProbeReport object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

options

None or a ProbeReport object specifying values to be copied. If other arguments are also supplied to setValues, they will override the values in options. The default value is None.

numColumns

An Int specifying the number of columns in the report file. This argument is valid only when pageWidth=SPECIFY. The default value is 80.

numDigits

An Int specifying the number of significant digits to be written for decimal values. The default value is 6.

numFormat

A SymbolicConstant specifying the number format to be used when formatting decimal values. Possible values are AUTOMATIC, ENGINEERING, and SCIENTIFIC. The default value is ENGINEERING.

pageWidth

A SymbolicConstant specifying the page width format. Possible values are NO_LIMIT and SPECIFY. The default value is NO_LIMIT.

printTotal

A Boolean specifying whether to print the total value of either the field output result (when probeObject=”ODB”) or the x- and y-coordinates (when probeObject=XYPlot). The default value is OFF.

printMinMax

A Boolean specifying whether to print the minimum and maximum values of either the field output result (when probeObject=”ODB”) or the x- and y-coordinates (when probeObject=XYPlot). The default value is OFF.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The ProbeReport object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the setValues method.
