Element.setGaussScriptedResults

setGaussScriptedResults(iGauss, val, entity, [component])

Specify a named result value at one gauss point of this element Only really useful when called for all gauss points of all visible elements Then allows (for example) drawing of beam contours and diagrams of any arbitary values. The entity may be given either as a name, or as an index previously registered using addScriptedResultsEntity. If the entity is given as a string and does not already exist, it will be created. If the component does not already exist within the given entity, a new component is created within the given entity. Note that the results will not be removed from the system (and so will potentially use a large amount of memory) until explicitly removed with a call to flushScriptedResults

iGauss	LONG_PTR	Gauss point index
val	double	Results value
entity	string or long	Name or index of results entity
component	string	Name of results component
Return value	none

Example

      nGauss = element.countGaussPoints()
' loop nodes
      for k = 0 to nGauss
' set gauss point results
        call element.setGaussScriptedResults(k, myResultValue, "MyComponentName")
      next
