Hi,

I'm trying to extrac a value from an expression with the getValue command in command editor.

here is a working code example:

!$simulationtime = getValue("DATA READER", "Current Timevalue"); !print $simulationtime;

Now I want to get the Value from the expressions block. For example "Current Time Step":

LIBRARY:
  CEL:
    EXPRESSIONS:
      Accumulated Time Step = 24409
      Current Time Step = 24409
      ..........
    END
  END
END

I tried:

!$test= getValue("LIBRARY:CEl:EXPRESSIONS", "Current Time Step"); !print $test;

but this gives me an error: "object....was not found in the ccl database". In the help I found the follwing example

! $bladecount = getValue(“/GEOMETRY:GEOMETRY/MACHINE DATA:MACHINE DATA”,”Bladeset Count”);

But I don't get what the correct syntax for my case is.
Can someone give me a hint?

Thanks in advance!

Your example uses CEl, nor CEL

[joha]

.ok. Thanks for the hint, but what is the difference?

[Opaque]

what do you mean by `what is the difference`?

CEL is not the same as CEl, is it ? the software is case sensitive

[joha]

ah ok now I got what you meant!

!$test= getValue("LIBRARY:CEL:EXPRESSIONS", "Current Time Step");

gives the same result.

Try the following:

!$test= getValue("/LIBRARY/CEL/EXPRESSIONS", "Current Time Step");
