ICEM Script use of a loop
 

Hello everyone, I am posting this question on ICEMCFD scripting hoping that someone would know the answer and anyone looking at this thread in the future would benefit from this. I have the following lines of scripts generated in ICEMCFD. Instead of making a copy of the curves and surfaces and translating them one by one, I wanna be able to do this in a loop where i would know the number of iterations (n) beforehand. The arguments for translation (here i have used 0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 for simplicity} would depend on the value of n.

Also, when the duplicate copies of the curves and surfaces are being made, i wanna name them in such a way that i can reuse them in the future. Perhaps create a loft using two curves by writing a code that may look like

ic_geo_duplicate_set_fam_and_data curve crv0 Firstcurve {} _0
ic_geo_duplicate_set_fam_and_data curve crv1 Secondcurve {} _0
ic_geo_cre_srf_loft_crvs SURFS FirstSurface 0.1 {Firstcurve Secondcurve} 4 0 1

Any help is appreciated. Let me know if anything i said is not clear.
