Thank you for your prompt reply! That's helped a lot, I didn't know how to implement the 'magnetic_energy_evaluator.Outputs["Magnetic Energy"].Data' or the 'mag_data.GetComponent(0)[0]' lines. I realise now that I probably should have posted the code which I had attempted already. Thanks for helping me anyway!

You need to make output_angle into an array and append the new values at the end every time (the i-th element will have the i-th phase you want) output_angle = numpy.array([]) for i in range(0,128): # your code output_angle = numpy.append(output_angle, numpy.angle(output))

I figured it out, made it in the gui and used to python to see what the syntax had to be inputs = [field_masking_filter.Outputs["EM E(x,y,z,f0)"]]

Not sure what you're trying to do, but some sample code to extract the field and data is below (should apply to anything with a rectilinear grid, but it's from Acoustic simulations): sim = document.AllSimulations[simulation_idx] simulation_extractor = sim.Results() sim_sensor_extractor = simulation_extractor["Overall Field"] # Sensor Name sim_field_extractor = sim_sensor_extractor.Outputs["Intensity"] # Field Name sim_field_extractor.Update() d_sim = sim_field_extractor.Data sim_ref_field_extractor.Update() out = d_sim_ref.Field(0) # 3D Field is extracted as a 1D array. # 0 corresponds to the snapshot (typically, time or frequency) # If you need this as a 3D array then use # out_3d = np.reshape(out, grid_dims, order='F') # once you have 'grid_dims' which I show how to get below # important to remember order = 'F' because of the way that 3D arrays are unrolled into 1D (Fortran style) sim_field_extractor.Update() # Just to be safe, I add this update step a few more times than needed # Get grid: axes, dimensions x = d_sim.Grid.XAxis y = d_sim.Grid.YAxis z = d_sim.Grid.ZAxis # Careful: Simulations in S4L have grids defined at the nodes, and values (the field) defined at cell centers # Therefore if you want the 'grid' used for the values in your field, you'll need to probably get the midpoints of the grid and reduce the grid dimensions by one in each direction. # Something like: x_mid = (x[1:]+x[:-1]) / 2 grid = d_sim_ref.Grid.Dimensions

@CEiber That's a very good idea, thanks a lot!

Hi, you get an error because your input is a 3D field (EM E(x,y,z,f0)) and this viewer expects 1D data (e.g. E as a function of x). To address this, you can use the 1D Field Filter (under Field Tools in the GUI) to first extract one-dimensional data out of your 3D field, and then connect the Plot viewer. Do it first in the GUI, then use To-Python function in the context menu to create your script. I hope this helps.

To update, I've learned the membrane voltage, membrane current, and extracellular voltage can be specified as the measured quantity for a line sensor, with the number of time snapshots of your choosing. Thus, all info to calculate the induced potential on the electrode over time from neural activity is available, one just has to create multiple, identical spline entities as only one quantity can be sensed from a structure at at time (at least in the version of 5.0 that I'm using). This also helps get a relative idea of where the action potential initiates along the axon relative to the electrode, though not an exact X/Y/Z location to show in the model view.

Yes, this has solved the issue. Thanks a lot Silvain!

For those who are interested, I have found a way to work around the issue. The python-command to continue a Simulation called: thermal_initial_global.InitializationOptions.enum.ContinueSimulation can only take the first argument, which in my case is "heating 0". So if you now have created "heating 1" based on "heating 0", and then proceed to delete "heating 0", the only available argument is "heating 1". This will enable you to further continue your simulation. You can delete a simulation using the following command: document.AllSimulations.Remove(thermal_sim) given you have returned thermal_sim, of course. If you create an empty list, you can append your thermal_sim's into it and then choose which item you want to delete. I am sure there are more elegant methods, but if you need to do this specific task, it works.
