CFD Online Discussion Forums - [ICEM] TCL scripting error (parameter use in functions)

Hi,

I'm having a problem using parameters in Icem's geometry functions. I'm trying to create points on a curve having a distance of 0.05 of the curves length.

No problem by using the command with an actual number:

Code:

# Create Point+Curve

ic_point {} SPLINE pnt.01 0,0,0

ic_point {} SPLINE pnt.02 1,0,0

ic_curve point SPLINE crv.01 {pnt.01 pnt.02}

# Create point on curve at position 0.05

ic_point crv_par SPLINE pnt.03 {crv.01 0.05}

I'd like now to replace the number by a parameter, which may be used in a loop:

Code:

# set point number and start param

set pnt_nr 3

set param 0.0

#---Loop Start

# Set the parameter to create the point; output of correct value

set param [expr {$param+0.05}]

mess "set param  to: $param \n"

# Create point on curve

ic_point crv_par GEOM pnt.$pnt_nr {crv.01  $param}

incr pnt_nr

#---Loop End

I get the following error

Code:

Error in replay of ic_point crv_par GEOM pnt.$pnt_nr {crv.01  $param}:

{Error in scanning curve parameter: $param}

I figured I had the wrong format so I tried several approaches to get it to work, without success.

Code:

{expr $param}

[$param]

"$param"

Thanks for any Ideas on how to get it working!
