A script that asks user for criteria & parameter file for batch mesh

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.

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 />
