Hi,

Since I am new to scripting I have created a sample script that creates a batchmesh of surface using following code:

*createmarkpanel surfaces 1 "Select Surfaces";
*createstringarray 1 "breakconnectivity 0";
*hm_batchmesh2 surfaces 1 1 1 "D:/BatchMesh/durability_3mm_chk_tria.criteria" "D:/BatchMesh/durability_3mm_tria.param";

Can the above code be modified such that it asks input from user for the criteria and parameter file for different mesh sizes?

Thanks!

    Howdy, 

     

    The command you are looking for is [tk_getOpenFile]. This will open the file open file dialog, and you can pick the param file. Another command you might want to use is *readbatchparamsfile. 

     

    Hope this helps

    The command you are looking for is hm_getfilename.

    https://2022.help.altair.com/2022.1/hwdesktop/hwd/topics/reference/hm/hm_getfilename.htm

    So your code would look like this:

    set paramfname [hm_getfilename "Please select a param file"]<br />*createmarkpanel surfaces 1 "Select Surfaces";
    *createstringarray 1 "breakconnectivity 0";
    *hm_batchmesh2 surfaces 1 1 1 "$criteriafname" "$paramfname";set criteriafname [hm_getfilename "Please select a criteria file"]<br />
