How to get the solver error messages programmatically ?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

Does someone know if there is any way to know programmaticaly if the simulation was successful or not ?

The idea would be to obtain a boolean variable like 'wasSuccessful" from the functions 'femtime' and 'femstatic', or better, a structure/string with the error code, so that I can decide to run or not postprocessing functions.

Thanks
Ronan

I found the way to know if the simulation was complete, in the Reference Guide (p. 133, function 'femlin'). We have to use the property 'Out'. It would be something like this:

[fem.sol, stop] = femtime(fem, 'Out', {'sol','stop'})
where 'sol' is the standard value.

But I still don't know how to get the error message...
