Python post-processing

Question

i have to analyse/visualize results of simulations(Simulink, EES) in Python.

Averaged I have to import 40-100 variables (each variable is a vector with several thausend rows) from a result file: Each Variable has a appropriate path in result.data("path to varaible") My workflow is the following (not really efficient):

Result = {}
Result["VariableA"] = result.data("moment1.p3.Temperatur")
Result["VariableB"] = result.data("moment2.p1.pressure")
..
..

At the end I have a code with around 100 lines - and every line is almost the same. So I assume that there is maybe a better way to do that.

I would be very grateful for suggestions

Answer 1

You should define a dictionary with all the variable/path definitions like

paths = {"VariableA": "moment1.p3.Temperatur",
         "VariableB": "moment2.p1.pressure",
         ...
        }

Then you can do

Result = {key: result.data(paths[key]) for key in paths}

or (possibly faster)

Result = {key: result.data(value) for key, value in paths.items()}

(assuming Python 3, otherwise use paths.iteritems() )
