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+'''"/>

HI, Thank you Very much,
Its still not working ,Variables are not calling into command.
Kindly check the attached file .
Thank you

<ElementType Value='''+Element_Type_2D+'''/>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">

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...

Hello,
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
