Cumulative meter value in Python:Plugin
How can we get the cumulative value of a Output:meter in Python:Plugin?
. which API function? . which calling point?

I recall some brief discussion about this here.
@S.Wang would using the
Output:Meter:Cumulativeobject work? This will contain the running total of anOutput:Meterstarting from the beginning of the simulation. Either that or use Python code to accumulateOutput:Metervalues as you desire.Thank you for replying!
I would like to get the cumulative value in my python plugin programs, but the Output:Meter:Cumulative is not accessible. (no such API.)
I also tried to get _meter_value on a calling point 'after Zone reporting', and accumulated it to generate an output variable. But this output result is not equal to the one from Output:Meter:Cumulative.
