Currently, the Pressures and Motions results only provide contour plots. How can the element data be obtained? If element data can be accessed, how can the element data for the frequencies of interest be exported in bulk?

Hi

Is this related to AQWA and coupling it to Mechanical or more towards automation and using scripts say to automate result extraction?

All the best

Thank you very much! I have already batch-obtained the desired results in AqwaReader, but I found that the pressure results consist of both real and imaginary parts. I would like to ask what this represents. Is the amplitude of pressure directly taken from the real part or the modulus? Additionally, can the pressure data based on Phase Angle be exported, i.e., how can the phase information in the pressure be obtained?

Hello,

You can convert the real and imaginary pressure values for each panel element into corresponding amplitude and phase by:

Amplitude = sqrt(Real^2 + Imag^2)

Phase = atan(Imag/Real)

You can only export data from Aqwa in its real and imaginary parts, but you can post-process the values in e.g. Excel as needed.

I hope this helps!
