Hi All,

I have a need to automate the generation and export of deformed configurations.

I have created the following method:

model.result().dataset("dset1").createDeformedConfig("deform1", "mesh2");
model.component("comp1").geom("deform1").feature("frommesh1").set("solnum", 26);
model.component("comp1").geom("deform1").feature("frommesh1").importData();
model.component("comp1").geom("deform1").run();
model.component("comp1").geom("deform1").export("C:\\Local Work\\Boot 25.mphbin");

In my solution, the parameter increments between 0 and 1 in increments of 0.01. If all solutions converge without issue, then this corresponds to a "solnum" of between 1 and 101. In the example above, this exports the deformed geometry at solution 26 which, because no convergence issues arose, also corresponds to a parameter value of 0.25.

However, it might be that in the event of a failed convergence, the solver tries an intermediate value for the incrementing parameter, in which case the "solnum" call will not necessarily correspond with the expected parameter value.

I would like to have a line of code similar to that above, which calls a deformed configuration based on parameter value rather than solution number, to make the method more robust.

The "withsol" approach does not seem to work on a geometry object, however.

Any thoughts as to how I could update my method code to achieve my end goal?

Thanks in advance,

Mark
