I've searched everywhere on this forum, but I can't seem to figure this out, even though I'm almost positive it's something minor/stupid.

I'm using the student version of Ansys 19.2

I'm trying to edit a session file in CFD-post so that I can create a lot of lines and planes on which to compute/plot data. However, I can't quite seem to get the syntax right because my scripts don't appear to store variables.

For instance, when I run the very basic session file:

COMMAND FILE:
  CFX Post Version = 19.2
END


!$xline = 10;

TEXT:Text 1
	Position Mode = Two Coords
	Text Height = 0.1
	TEXT ITEM:Text item 1
		Text Item Active = On
		Text String = $xline
	END
END

>show /TEXT:Text 1, view=/VIEW:View 1

nothing appears. If I remove the $ in front of the $xline in the Text String field, then "xline" will appear in my view window (without the quotes), so I know I can make this script actually display text on my screen. It's the same behavior if i replace the number 10 with "string".

What am I missing?

Bump. I found that when I input those commands into the command window in the CFD post application, the output works as described. It appears that I can use this method instead of editing and loading session files, but it still seems strange to me that the exact same commands are recognized in the command window but not a session file.
