Hi shrikant,

first of all, try using the clean-up command (in the replay control window). It will clean up the file from unnecessary commands. But beware, if you have done any undos, the clean up feature will not remove unwanted functions. Then you need to correct the script manually.

If you want to do something more comprehensive, then start reading about the interpreter language "tcl". This is the language in which the ICEM GUI and the replay scripts are written.

The ICEM programming manual might help a little bit, in order to destinguish between native commands and ICEM specifc commands. However, i think this will be clear after you have done a few tutorials on tcl.

If you come to a point, where this sources of information will not help you, put the string "break" into a line to stop a script at that specifc point while running it. That way you can find out yourself what part of the script does what regarding you meshing.

Feel free to ask specific further questions.

In short:

Learn about tcl
Learn about ICEM specific scripting
Test what function in your script corresponds to what GUI interaction.

Best regards,
Sebastian

If you have commercial background, i could offer comprehensive help upon request.

Hi shrikant,

"select 2 locations" might not be an error. It could be the request to interactively pick 2 locations in the GUI (such as points). There is a function which calls the ICEM routine to get into the "pick mode". By clicking right you might just cancel this mode. The script would then just continue with the rest of the script.

Regarding the clean up. Open your replay control. In that window there is button called "clean".

With regards,
Sebastian

Dear shrikant,

as i wrote in my first answer, i believe, you need to step back once and engage a little bit more with ICEM and its scripts, how it works. (I know, it's not easy, but possible)
An additional option would be to elaborate your question more. e.g. posting code snippets, logs, screenshots,... this increases the chance of getting an answer and solution, although not garantueed. I am sure this is also explained in the sticky post for new users of this subforum.

Regarding the clean option for replay scripts, search the ICEM help manual. There you'll find information.

With regards,
Sebastian
