File > Export > Model Export (xml)

Hi All;

I am working on Anybody Modeling system fully for 6 months right now
and getting to know different aspects of the models. My ultimate goal
is to couple Anybody with different softwares to broaden the usage of
Anybody.

My question is about the File > Export > Model Export (xml) option
which can be accessed from the main menu. When I write out an .xml
file I could not retrive the values for any one of the objects defined
in the model. All objects have “VALUE NOT GIVEN YET” value.

  1. Is there a way to get the values for all objects?
  2. Can we access the File > Export > Model Export (xml) option from
    batch mode?

Best Regards…

Hello Can,

First of all, I am sorry for the long response time. It has been vacation
time here and afterwards, I have had a bulk to overcome.

About the Model Export (XML):

This facility was a kind of half finished feature. The idea was to export
the model in some format that could be used for generating reports using
external tool. XML seemed like a good tool for this since XSLT
transformation could be the tool for transforming the raw (exported)
information into nicer report formats. We included this feature, even though
it was not finished, to get some experience with it.

Of course it is an error that values were not given.

Now you may wonder why I write “was” all the time. The fact is that we have
not been using the facility ourselves and neither have anyone else as far as
we know. At least not until you tried using it.

This has made us change strategy for the next version of AnyBody. The Model
Export facility will be removed and instead we are putting emphasis on
making the AnyBody GUI better for browsing the model elements. This is in
much higher demand than reporting.

About your problem:

Maybe you can “dump” everything, but then you must parse the dumped result.
The dump-result looks a bit like AnyScript but simpler and with values only.

You currently (version 2) dump by double-clicking the object in the three.

As far as I recall there are similar functionality in the console
application. Please try print <objectname> and printdown <objectname>. The
latter should work like dumping in the GUI.

Once again, I am sorry for the late response.

If this does not help you all the way, please do not hesitate to write
again.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi Can, Hi Micheal,

I would just like to point-out that using AnyOutputFile with a search
string, such has Model..... would give similar results, but directly to
a file and from the model, not the console.

Hope this helps,

Jean-Olivier

Hello Jean-Olivier and Can,

Exactly - very good point, J-O. I do not know why I didn’t think of that
yesterday while writing my first posting. I guess I am not fully awaken
after the vacation yet;-)

I thought about last night, but you (J-O) beat me to it.

Can, as J-O suggest, please look at the AnyOutputFile that is indeed
intended for such exports. Especially, if you do not really need all values
in the model, but only those of a selected set, like those in a given folder
or those with a given name in a given folder, the output files is a
convenient tool.

Notice that the output-files are related to studies and they contain two
sections, one for constants and one for varying values of the study (such as
positions and forces varying over time)

Best regards,

Michael

Hello Can, Michael,

Can: You can then use readABO (see the group’s file section) to read those
files in MatLab, or write your own.

Michael: By the way, thanks for the mention in the NewsLetter :wink:
