You write a basic node field expression filter using an
@-notation of the general form:
with <field-name> equal to the name of one of the available fields in
Table 3-5 and
<field-value> equal to the value being filtered on. Write, for example,
to find all models with nodes of a type that contains the word rotor. With this, you can, for example, find models that have a Frozen Rotor study step, or models that have a Beam Rotor interface. Write
You can find the API class, as well as all other node fields, of a particular node in the
Node table in the
Details dialog box opened from
The Contents Section. These often have a technical name that may be challenging to remember. To help you with this, Model Manager comes with a set of predefined
named nodes that work as aliases. You will match on only a Time Dependent study step by writing
You use an API type field expression when a named node is not enough to distinguish types. Writing
will match on models with an Electric Currents interface. But it will also match on models with an Electric Currents in Layered Shells interface. Write
You write a basic setting field expression filter using an
@-notation of the general form:
with <field-name> equal to the name of one of the available fields in
Table 3-3 and
<field-value> equal to the value being filtered on. As for node field expressions, you can include several expressions within
@setting{…}. Write, for example,
to find all models with a setting Length having value
9[cm] — see also
Escaping Reserved Characters. When the setting is a scalar, you can also match on a range of values:
You can find the available settings of a particular node under Setting in the
Details dialog box opened from
The Contents Section. You may find it useful, for example, to include a filter on the
Name setting field whenever the
Description setting field matches too wide.
to find models with a Parameters node created in September 2021, such that the node has a
Length parameter with value
9[cm] and a
Width parameter with value
5[cm].
to find all models with a 2D component that contains an Electric Currents
interface.
