I have a model with some joints (bushings to ground). I have several analyses in this model, in each analysis I have some joint probes that are telling me the joint force.  I want to print the joint forces to a text file using scripting.  First I was trying to just print the joint forces to the shell.  I found this example to base my code on: https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v221\/en\/act_script\/act_script_examples_evaluate_spring_reaction_forces.html <\/p>\n

EXAMPLE: <\/p>\n

# Get access to solver data\nanalysis = Model.Analyses[0]\nsolver_data = analysis.Solution.SolverData\n\n# Get access to result reader\nwith analysis.GetResultsData() as reader:\n    spring_results = reader.GetResult(\"SPRING\")\n    # Get a list of all springs\n    springs = Model.Connections.GetChildren(DataModelObjectCategory.Spring, False)\n\n    for spring in springs:\n        print(spring.Name)\n\n        spring_data = solver_data.GetObjectData(spring)\n        element_id = spring_data.ElementId\n\n        fForce = spring_results.GetElementValues(element_id)\n        print(fForce[0])<\/pre>\n
But it’s for springs.  Trying to change it to work for bushing joints, I don’t know what to put here: reader.GetResult(“SPRING”)  I tried “reader.GetResult(“JOINT”) but that does not compile.  It does run if I keep it as “SPRING” but the results are nonsense.  Please help! I could not find any documentation on the GetResult function.<\/p>\n
Here is my code so far:<\/p>\n
# Get access to solver data
analysis = Model.Analyses[0]
solver_data = analysis.Solution.SolverData
# Get access to result reader
with analysis.GetResultsData() as reader:
    joint_results = reader.GetResult(“SPRING”)
    # Get a list of all joints
    joints = Model.Connections.GetChildren(DataModelObjectCategory.Joint, True)
    for joint in joints:
        print(joint.Name)
        joint_data = solver_data.GetObjectData(joint)
        element_id = joint_data.ElementId
        print(element_id)
        fForce = joint_results.GetElementValues(element_id)
        print(fForce[0])<\/p>\n
