I have updated the [CalculiX Component for Cubit](https://github.com/calculix/Cubit-CalculiX).  
It now has a python interface to query the results from the .frd and .dat files.  
This could be useful if someone wants to run a convergence study or do a results based mesh refinement.

To get an overview of all new commands type

```auto
#!cubit
ccx ?

```

and for the functions of the python interface type

```auto
#!python
ccx.help()

```
