Hello everybody!

I have some problem with scripting ICEM CFD.
My script usually works well without any issues, this problem happens only sometimes on our cluster (on other computer works well all the time).
I run CFD using batch command with the *.tcl script. Sometimes while excecuting ICEM crashes with the error (shown below).
ICEM version 15.0 or 19.1 - doesn't matter.

Anybody could suggest how to solve it?

Hi Michal,


could you share the head of your script, until line 57.

Alternatively,share the parts where you set the variable err and the variable ret?


So, it seems the variable err is true in your case and tries to raise an error.
There might be some command left in the ret variable.




Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian

if {$case==1} {
set dw $do
}
### GEOMETRY
ic_set_global geo_cad 0 toptol_userset
ic_set_global geo_cad 0.0 toler
ic_geo_new_family GEOM

The last line from the part above is the line 57 from my script. All lines being before are just comments and variables definition like:

set do 6.0
set dw 5.0

In my script I don't have variables "err" or "ret" to be clear. I don't really know what is it about.


Best regards,

I see...


So there must be something going wrong with

ic_geo_new_family GEOM

But i can't imagine what.


It never has been any issue in my work, anyways: do you work in different operating systems, such as windows and linux?
Are the issues only occuring on a specific os?

By any chance, are you using Notepad++?
I could reproduce a similar error when using UTF8-BOM encoding. Plain UTF8 seems to be no problem. Can you try to save your script in UTF8 without BOM


Best regards,

I work on Windows Server 2012.
The strangest thing is that it usually works and crashes only sometimes. It's a little bit annoying because I run simulations one by one and that issue stops whole process.
I use Notepad++. I will try with different oding, thank you for involvement!
