Theory

This section provides information regarding the use of Database Access Routines. This feature is intended for advanced users of the software, and facilitates the development of specialised postprocessing tools tailored to meet the specific requirements of individual users. It is divided into the following sections:

Database Files introduces Flexcom's motion and force database files.

Database Access Routines describes the collection of procedures that allow the retrieval of results directly from the database files.

Motion Database File Structure documents the contents of the motion database file.

Force Database File Structure documents the contents of the force database file.

The Excel Add-in for Flexcom is an alternative advanced method to extract information from the results database.

Relevant Keywords

*DATABASE is used to specify the frequency of database output.

*DATABASE CONTENT is used to customise the contents of the database output files.

The Database Access Routines themselves do not have any associated keywords as such. Rather they are invoked from a user-defined application to facilitate customised postprocessing. If you would like to see an example of how the DARs are used in practice, refer to J02 - Advanced Database Postprocessing. This example actually contains two sub-sections, namely...
