Hello Vanghelis

Thank you for answering me.
What exactly should I write in this ANSA_TRANSL? Please do not forget I want to load python scripts.

For old bs scripts it should be somethig like:
#include "/path_to_script/myscript.bs"

How should it be for python, just writing #include "/path_to_script/myscript.py" does not work...


Cheers
:)

Hello Mihai,

You are right, some clarifications for python scripts

1) The file must be called ANSA_TRANSL.py
2) In this file you must have entries like:

import ansa
ansa.ImportCode('/home/user/my_functions.py')
ansa.ImportCode('/home/user/my_functions2.py')
ansa.ImportCode('/home/user/my_functions3.py')

Hello Vanghelis

Thank you again. I have the sensation that we are slowly converging to a solution. :) Just a few increments more...

So... if I include my scripts in the ANSA_TRANSL.py with the code you suggested:
- ANSA_TRANSL.py is loaded at ANSA start, shows up in Available modules section at Script>Run function
- none of the functions from "my_functions.py are" available, they do not appear in function list in the same dialog.

Just to eliminate a possible question, I can manually load my script without ANSA_TRANSL and run it, so it is a valid script.

Hello Mihai,

When you place your scripts in ANSA_TRANSL.py
and start ANSA, what are the messages reported
in the ANSA Info Window when ANSA starts?
Can you copy paste all messages?

Hello Vanghelis


Error messages are... a lot of messages, but unimportant now, It is finally solved now.
With help from you and from the manual of course, it was there all along. Again! :) I do not know how I could miss it. Again!

So... for anybody else, if you have a file named say.. myLibrary.py importing all the functions from that file at ANSA start, using ANSA_TRANSL is done this way:

import ansa
ansa.ImportCode("/path_to_file/myLibrary.py")
from myLibrary import *

The last line appears in the ansa_python document as import myLibrary, it does not offer acces to the functions inside the file (at least in my case).

glad you've worked it out!

Good Morning all,


can anyone kindly guide me for my question below please.


1. how to read excel file in ansa scripting( i want to import it and read it while executing it).



thank you very much for time taken to read it.

You can do that with python and pyxll library
 

Hi,

You can write the script using python. There is an external library pyxll(and many more are there), you can use it to open the excel file.

Good morning Maries ,

Currently i am working in Beta script and have to execute that in ANSA. I ll check that and i will come back to you.actually i m kinda new to scripting so may take time.

Warm regards
Sajun

If you are using ANSA version > 14. Better do your scripting in python. You can find lot of materials and libraries available in internet for python.

Ansa version < 14 doesn't support python scripting. You can do scripting only in Beta script.

Thanks & Regards
Maries

hi maries,

there is a inbuilt function in ANSA itself ,to read and access the excel file. anyways thanks for your help.
