Workflow to Retrieve Behavior Experience Data

You can create a report template to retrieve behavior experience data. Behavior experience data, such as variable values, plots, watchlists, and signal operator probes, is created in Behavior Experience.

Important: Plots are static vector images. You cannot interact with the plots.
Note: In the following scenario, the variable default names are kept. It is recommended to customize these names to clarify the report template.

Before you begin:
  1. In Behavior Experience:
    1. Create one or more scenarios from a model from Dymola Behavior Modeling or a functional or logical behavior from Functional & Logical Design.
    2. Add comments on the scenarios.
    3. To include plots in the example below, define plots and watchlists.
    4. To include signal operator probe results, define signal operator probes.
    5. Simulate and generate results.
    6. Run the plots you want to report, including the plots of watchlists.
    7. Save.
  2. In Report Template Design:
    1. Create a report template with the name MyReportTemplate and the title Example. For more information, see Creating a Template.
    2. To open the report template, click, in the Configure column for the new template, the command Show Template.

  1. To define this example of a report template for behavior experience data:
    1. From the Properties tab, in the Parameters area, click New.
    2. From the Type list, select System Behavior Simulation.

      Important: This example is created from a model from Dymola Behavior Modeling. If you instead create it from a functional or logical behavior from Functional & Logical Design, select Functional Simulation or Logical Simulation instead, respectively.
