You should add the triple quotes... but without deleting the existing double quotes (")
I know that it looks weird to have "''' , like 5-ple quotes, but once you understand why you will remember it!
Original recorded text:
SurfaceMesh='''.... <ElementType Value="Tri6"/> ...'''
Triple quotes ''' define a MULTIPLE LINE STRING.
You have to
- Delete the recorded field (Tri6)
- Instead of the recorded field, you close the string ('''), concatenate the variable string (+VARname+) and open the string again (''')
It becomes:
SurfaceMesh='''.... <ElementType Value="'''+VARname+'''"/> ...'''
******************************
So, you have to write:
SurfaceMesh=''' <SurfaceMesh UUID="08df0ff6-f369-4003-956c-82781326c876">
<tag Value="-1"/>
<SurfaceMeshType Value="Tri"/>

Hi Alessio,
Thanks a lot
Its working now.
Hi,
I am trying to get model names for FEM into Simlab script so as to generalized for running the script for any model.
I have some numbering rule for my model and the Script is as below
FEMModelName = simlab.getModelName("FEM");
Renumber=''' <Renumber UUID="28706164-a6f5-4544-b4a9-c052c4b6c60f">
<Option Value="Nodes"/>
<Selection Value="Model"/>
<AdvancedOption>
<SurfaceAndInterior Value="false"/>
<CornerAndMid Value="false"/>
</AdvancedOption>
<RenumberData>
<Model Name="'''+FEMModelName+'''"</Model>
<NodeStartID>101</NodeStartID>
</Model>
</RenumberData>
<FileName Value=""/>
</Renumber>''';
simlab.execute(Renumber);
when i run this FE Model is not renumbered.
Any suggestions.
Thank you in advance...
Altair EmployeeHello,
in this case, the created variable is already a string, so you don't need to introduce it through " when concatenating.
Please in order to use the right syntax, just see the help related to the automation utility, you will always find the right script sample and syntax explanation
Hi, you are missing the TRIPLE QUOTES which are required to interrupt the multi-line string and concatenate the variable-string.
Try with:
<ElementType Value="'''+Element_Type_2D+'''"/>
