Automated export from formula to CSV file

[norbert.bakkers@lr.org]

I’ve written a FlexPro function (in FlexPro script) with a number of arrays defined within the function e.g:

myTime = 0. # NumTimeSteps
myResult1 = 0. # NumTimeSteps
myResult2 = 0. # NumTimeSteps
myResult3 = 0. # NumTimeSteps
myResult4 = 0. # NumTimeSteps
myResult5 = 0. # NumTimeSteps

Then I populate them with data.

I would then like to export the resulting arrays into CSV files from within the formula. The formula will be called multiple times, so I would like the process to be as automated as possible.

What would be the best way to go about this?

If you want to automate the export you have to write a VBA macro.

Example:
…
Dim oFml As Formula
Set oFml = ThisDatabase.RootFolder.Object(“Formula”, fpObjectTypeFormula)
oFml.Export fpExportFormatCSV, “…Path…”
…
