[Workbench] Run ICEM Script in Workbench Script

MIZOR · July 17, 2015, 12:09

Hi User,

What's the command script in Workbench Scripting to run a ICEM journal?

Because I'm doing a optimization in WB and I have to control all program with a WB script. I use DesignModeler to generate geometry and then I'll pass the information to ICEM and I generate mesh with a ICEM script.
But I don't know run ICEM script in WB script, for DesignModeler the command is RunScript(file path) but for ICEM I don't know.

Thank you

MIZOR

I'm having the same problem, been trying to look for a way to run an ICEM script or journal from Workbench but I can't seem to find how to do it. Did you have any luck?

Hi,
try with follow command:

icempath = "yourdirectory/icemscript.rpl"
script = open (icempath, "r")
array = [ ]
for line in script :
array.append (line)
script.close ( )

Version 14.5 Ansys Workbench

Hi guys,

I have an ICEM script, that works well, if I open the ICEM, but I would like to run this script in workbench.
I tried this workbench journal, what Mizor wrote, and I didn't get any error message, so it can run

, but it didn't make the meshing.

Code:

# encoding: utf-8
# Release 17.0
SetScriptVersion(Version="17.0.323")
icempath = "mypath/ICM.rpl"
script = open (icempath, "r")
array = [ ]
for line in script :
	array.append (line)
script.close ( )

What else should I write?

Thanks
Levente

I levente,

your script work well in ICEM?
You can try use only ICEM to test script.

Hi Mizor,
thanks for the quick answer!

The Icem script works perfect, if I run it in Icem.
Also, if I update the project in workbench (and the mesh is not ready).
By the way, the Icem script begins with Close Mesh.

It could be good too maybe, if the Workbench script opens the Icem, and automatically runs the Icem script.

The aim is, that I dont have to click on icem and wait until he opens, and after that click on the "Run script". Just: I am in Workbench, then press Enter (or click on sg) and until the simulation works everything.

Thanks

Hi LLevente,

I'm currently facing the same problem as you do, did you find a solution to solve this?

I can not find it.

If there's a replay named after the ICEM project directory inside the directory itself, workbench will automatically run the replay file when you update.

So if there's an ICM-1.rpl inside Workbench_files/dp0/ICM-1 folder, ICEM should automatically use that replay when you update from workbench. You don't need to put special commands in wbpj file . . . at least that's how I do it.
