Topic: Data From Monitoring Points

Hello,

When I request data from ATENA Studio using the tab Output>Data Request, i get data points for all the iterations.

Is there a way I can obtain data for each completed steps only. Do I need to change the input file itself or should I configure some other option in Studio itslef. Thank you.

Regards,

Sumedh

Re: Data From Monitoring Points

Dear Sumedh,

That's strange, I always get results from the active step without iterations if I use Data request. Instead I usually use Monitor request which can extract data from all saved steps. Moreover, extracting data from calculated steps is only available for the last converged iteration. All other iterations are erased after step is completed.

It seems you have mixed something. Could you share screenshot of the data you obtained?

Dear Pavlo,

Thanks for your reply. This is one of the outputs that I got for a monitoring point. I usually use short program outside of ATENA to sort the data to give results for completed steps. 

"Output data for request: MONITOR_SET_1_DISP

   26      11.75      11.75  0.0602431 "

I actually tried changing the input file

OUTPUT NAME "Force"
     MONITOR EACH ITERATION LOCATION NODES NODE
     AT SELECTION "M_95D55CE7_B0CC_4A25_A537_7490A4F14123"
     DATA LIST "Reactions" ITEM AT 1 END ;

to

OUTPUT NAME "Force"
     MONITOR EACH STEP LOCATION NODES NODE
     AT SELECTION "M_95D55CE7_B0CC_4A25_A537_7490A4F14123"
     DATA LIST "Reactions" ITEM AT 1 END ;

but that would simply post NaN next to incomplete iiterations and publish similar to the above pasted data columns. Using monitor request usually takes time for me as I have lot of steps. Once again thanks for your concern.

Regards,

Sumedh

Re: Data From Monitoring Points

Dear Sumedh,
if you are using Gid to prepare your model bear in mind that MONITOR_2 is used to store results at each step. So you may try
OUTPUT NAME "Force"
     MONITOR_2 EACH STEP LOCATION NODES NODE..

Also, in Atena Studio you can plot the result in diagram where you can choose if data plot is at each iteration or each step. Then by clicking your cursor within the plot and using CTRL+C you can copy data from plot and then you can insert data into text or sheet editor.

In case of your problem is not solved by this, you can follow Troubleshooting, 2.1.1 (send us model and explanation of your problem) and we will try to reproduce the problem.

Best regards,
Michaela Vaitova
