Using a variable created in a GUI

Altair Forum User

Hey guys,

 

I've created a GUI where the user can choose if he wants to apply a pressure load in x-, y- or z-direction by clicking on a button. By clicking on one of the buttons, a variable called 'vector' will be created.

This variable should later be used in the command that creates the load.

 

Trying to select this variable with $vector on the position that is marked in yellow in the end of the screenshot, nothing happens.

 

Could you somehow help me out with this problem?

 

 

Kind regards

Simon

Use {*}$vector to expand that list

 

Why don't you use hm_getdirectionpanel?

I modified my code this the way you told me to,, but somehow there's still an error occurring.

This is the relevant part of my code:

The variable 'direction' is created, this is the output in the command window:

Do you have an idea what's still wrong?

 

Thanks in advance,

Simon
