[EphemeralMemory]

Hello, thank you for reading this,

Something I have tried in the past is the importing of point and connectivity data into Ansys using the Formatted Point Input. I can successively import the points easily, but I was wondering if I can progamatically import cylinders using a similar approach. I am doing this in ANSYS ICEM CFD at the moment.

I have the beginning point, end point and radii for each segment. When I imported point data before, I built cylinders completely manually, but the tree I have this time is made up of hundreds to thousands of segments, so it would be a lot easier if I could programatically bring them in.

I understand this is possible using a TCL script. How would I look into writing one, and where would I execute the script?

Thanks for your help!
