Hypermesh doesnt load a file im using in a tcl script

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

first of all im new to Hypermesh and all the scripting. I made a tcl script, which reads a file (like .txt .UFF) and creates nodes from coordinates mentioned in the file. Everything works perfect in the tclsh-environment, the file data gets imported and it looks like this:

 

% set fp [open 'test.UFF' r]
file5e9730
% set file_data [read $fp]
1 1 1 1 10 0 0
1 1 1 1 0 10 0
1 1 1 1 0 0 10

 

I skipped the rest of the code because I think its not necessary. If I execute the script in Hypermesh i get the following error:

 

couldn't open 'test.UFF': no such file or directory

 

If I dont read the data file and define the matrix shown above manually, everything is good. So why doesnt Hypermesh find my file? Its definitely in the folder where I start the Hypermesh session from. I hope my problem is clear and someone can help me.

Just making it clear, '\' is a special character in TCL.

Anything after '\' is not evaluated as commands.

 

So, for folders you can use / like suggested, or instead of using quotes '  ' for the string, use { }

Anything inside { } is not evaluated at all and is directly written.
