How to get the wanted data after animating in sofa?

[TeoREN0217]

Hi!
I have build a soft-arm-like robot with cable actuator in sofa and it successfully worked as inverse mode to find the set target. After that I want to get the cables' displacements and force, so I found the right varibles and used print() in the class which only showed the init data when it load the python file. So I tried traditional python writing method with '''def main() and if name == 'main':'''. I put the print() in def main() or after main() and it shows errors: IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level. It makes m confused and I want to know how to get the wanted date while or after animating?

print(simulation.Throat.cable1.CableActuator.displacement)

Hi @TeoREN0217

Welcome on the forum! Can you explain what is for you the end of the animation ? is this a specific moment in time?

Hi~Thank you for your reply! Actually I have solve the problem by setting my own AnimationController and onBeginAnimationStep. But here is another question.
Here is the situation: I build a continuum robot with 3 cable actuator and using the inverse mode by setting a taget to make my robot tip to touch it. I have achieve one target and I want to set more targets to touch one by one. I have no idea about setting a continuous path to make my robot get. Should I still using the Animation controller to achieve that?

Glad to ready that you solved it using the onAnimateBeginEvent(self, event) function.

Regarding your second question, could you open a new Discussion topic on the SoftRobots plugin here. Thanks in advance 👍
