How can the results of Pressures and Motions for all elements be obtained?

  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!

  Thank you very much! I have successfully batch-processed the desired results in AqwaReader. However, I noticed that the pressure results contain both real and imaginary components.. Could you please clarify what these represent? Should the pressure amplitude be taken directly from the real part, or from the modulus of the complex value? Furthermore, is it possible to export pressure data with respect to phase angle, i.e., how can the phase information in the pressure results be obtained?

    We can only export the pressure data from Aqwa in real and imaginary components, but it is simple to convert to corresponding amplitude and phase values:
