Going back to destroy's original problem, where Fluent had an error involving this file:
"K:\USERS\mnowak\monitory\monitory_files\dp0\F LU\F luent\K:\USERS\mnowak\artykulzautosavemnaprawa\pos tprocessing\caseanddatadoanalizy\Fluentmesh14-58-00073.set"

The \dp0\FLU\Fluent part looks like you're inside Workbench. I suspect that some of your journal commands are changing the working directory -- see that the full path in the error message mentions K:\ twice, which cannot be a good sign. Fluent has mangled your version of the working directory and some other path when autosaving some files.

(1) One immediate piece of advice is to run Fluent as a standalone program unless you're using some vital feature of Workbench.

(2) If you really have to run inside Workbench, another option is to put all the output in whatever directory Fluent happens to like at any moment, and then go and find it yourself later.

(3) If that is unacceptable, try using relative paths such as "..\..\..\user_files" -- but honestly, I would settle for (1) or (2).

Thanks alot for the help. I have found a very simple solution (took me 2 months long time) for my case (couldn't have been possible without your guidance as I am very new to fluent and scheme programming). ie I wanted to export solution data (of a variable) on a surface for 3500 data files.

What I did was, I renamed those data files in numerical order e.g. test-(1), test-(2)............., test-(3500)

and then I wrote simple 2 line scheme code for exporting ascii files...

(Do ((x 1 (+ x 1))) ((> x 3500))
(ti-menu-load-string (format #f "file read-data try-(~a).dat q" x));
(ti-menu-load-string (format #f "file export ascii try-(~a)[name of file to be exported] new[surface name] () y air-vof[variable] () y q q" x));
)

and then I wrote a program in python to read those exported ascii files and calculate time-average of the variable on the required surface

I hope it helps someone who is new to such problem.

thanks again
