Access to Result Files

Accessing GeoDict result files (*.gdr) from Python macros is possible with the stringmap module. Use it to parse GeoDict key/value text file formats such as GDR files. Stringmaps represent a hierarchical key/value data structure, like a nested dictionary.

General Example

An example of usage, assuming a geometric pore size distribution (Granulometry) was run with PoroDict and the result file was saved as PoreSizes.gdr:

import stringmap

# The module stringmap is

# loaded in the beginning.  

gdrPath = "PoreSizes.gdr"

# assign GeoDict result file

# PoreSizes to variable gdrPath

gdr = stringmap.parseGDR(gdrPath)

# read and parse the GDR

# file into a string map

# object and assign it to

# variable gdr

gdr.push("ResultMap")

# move into the result map

# Alternatively, you can omit

# this push and write

# "ResultMap:MaxDiameter"

# in the following line

maxDiameters       = gdr.getList("MaxDiameter")

volFracsCumulative = gdr.getList("VolumeFractionCumulative")

# get the list values called

# "MaxDiameter" and

# "VolumeFractionCumulative"

# from the result map in the GDR

# To get other types of values

# use one of the following methods:

# gdr.getBool(key), gdr.getInt(key),

# gdr.getDouble(key)

# getList always returns a list

# of strings, however

maxDiameters = [float(x) for x in maxDiameters]

# do the following to convert

# the string lists to numerical values

volFracsCumulative = [float(x) for x in volFracsCumulative]

# convert each list entry from a

# string to a floating point value

gdr.pop()

# go back to the root of the tree

# only needed when push was used

To find the right keys open a result file in the GeoDict Result Viewer by selecting File Open Results (*.gdr) from the menu bar and move to the desired map tab, here the Results – Map subtab. The Input Map ("InputMap"), the Log Map ("LogMap"), the Post Map ("PostProcessingMap") and the Parameter Map under the Metadata tab ("ParameterMap") can be accessed in the same way.
