[Faraz Qasim]

i have a project where i need to use physical properties from DWSIM in excel or csv. i need to run dynamic simulation on DWSIM and to export required physcial properties from DWSIM to excel or csv online and updating this data at a specific update rate. any help for python script for this kind of data flow will be highly appreciated! Thank you

You can use the Timer class from the .NET Framework to execute a function at a specified interval:

from System import String

# https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/api/system.timers.timer?view=netframework-4.8

from System.Timers import Timer

timer = Timer()

timer.Interval = 2000

count = 0

def ElapsedHandler(s, e):

    global count, timer

    count += 1

    print(String.Format("The Elapsed event was raised at {0:HH:mm:ss.fff}", e.SignalTime))

    if count > 4: timer.Stop()

timer.Elapsed += ElapsedHandler

timer.Enabled = True

timer.Start()

For Excel usage, see the Dynamic Simulation tutorial on the website.
