list_info statistics

Allows the user to obtain information for existing database entities. You may instruct Adams/View to print this information to the "Info Window" or to a file or both.

Format:

 

list_info statistics
entity_name =	an existing entity
type_filter =	an existing object type
depth =	an integer
brief =	on/off
write_to_terminal =	on/off
file_name =	string specifying the file path

Example:

 

list_info statistics
entity_name =	*
type_filter =	color
depth =	1
brief =	on
write_to_terminal =	off
file_name =	"C:\info.txt"

Description:

 

Parameter	Value Type	Description
entity_name	AN EXISTING ENTITY	Specifies any existing database entity.
type_filter	ENT	Specify the type of objects allowed.
depth	INTEGER
brief	ON_OFF	Specifies whether to use the brief form (default) or an extended form of the requested information to be displayed.
write_to_terminal	ON_OFF	Specify if the information requested is to be sent to the informational window or not.
file_name	STRING	Specify that the information requested is to be sent to a file with the name specified with the parameter.

Extended Definition:

1.

You may identify a database entity by typing its name or by picking it from the screen. If the database entity is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the database entity is displayed. If you created the database entity by reading an ADAMS data set or graphics file, the database entity name is the first three letters of the ADAMS object, followed by the ADAMS data set database entity ID number. The name of ADAMS PART/101 is PAR101, for example. If you created the database entity during preprocessing, you gave it a name at that time.

2.

When specifying the objects for this operation a wild cards can be used, which may result in too many objects being found. For example, if all the parts for model MOD1 are desired, specifying .MOD1.* will get not only the parts, but all children of the model, like joints, forces, etc. Using the parameter TYPE_FILTER=part will result in only the parts being processed by this command.

3.

If the database entity is available by default, you may identify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. For example, to identify a part under an analysis, you may need to enter the analysis name as well. You may specify the part named par101 from the analysis named test by entering "/test/par101". You must separate multiple database entity names by commas.

If the database entity is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.

4.	The ‘write_to_terminal’ parameter is most likely be used in conjunction with the FILE_NAME parameter to get the information put to a file only.

Tips:

1.	If you type a "?", Adams/View will list the database entities available by default.
