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:

# 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:

# 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

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.

{expr $param}
[$param]
"$param"

Thanks for any Ideas on how to get it working!

{crv.01 0.05} is a list.

No substitutions are performed on the characters between the braces here.

Use list operations to construct the list variable.

set crvl {crv.01}
lappend crvl $param

ic_point crv_par GEOM pnt.$pnt_nr $crvl

Good to know that these functions work with lists. Thanks fox!
