Export measurements

This command exports the measurements taken to a csv file during a kinematics or dynamic simulation.

Creation stages / Use:

Select the Simulation > Export measurements... command from the drop-down menu, with the contextual menu from the simulation in the entities tree or from the Export measurements button from the View measurements command.

Select the simulation to which the measurement should be exported.
Click Refresh if the button is not grayed out. The button is grayed out when the simulation is updated. Refreshes can also be run from the entities tree.
Enter the number of measurements to be taken per second.
Select the values separator for the exported .csv file. Each cell is separated by this separator. During this file import, this separator has to be indicated.
Select the decimal separator. Automatic keeps the TopSolid parameters, Period or ANSI allows to force this separator in the exported file.
Select encoding. Unicode allows to not have trouble with special characters (for example Japanese or Chinese characters) if the file is opened in another language. With ANSI, these characters may be lost.
Indicate the name and the path of the exported file by clicking on Scroll.

If the Auto refresh mode is active on the kinematics or dynamic simulations, the Update button is grayed out.
The number of lines in the exported file shall depend on the duration of the simulation and the number of measurements to be carried out per second.
