Skipping a Step to Avoid Error

Altair Forum User

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to customize the setting up of simulation, so I'm using the command *createmarkpanel nodes 1 'Choose the relevant nodes for the constraints.' to create the constraints. Later on, I use the same command for creating the load.

If, for any reasons, I don't want to use this program for creating the constraints and click on proceed without marking any nodes, an error is occurring and the program stops directly. Thus, it's not possible to use the program to mark the nodes for the load afterwards.

Is it possible to somehow avoid this error?

 

Here you can find the relevant part of my script for creating the constraints:

*createentity loadcols name=loadcol1
*drawlistresetstyle
*setvalue loadcols id=1 name='Lagerung'
*startnotehistorystate {Created Constraints}
*createmarkpanel nodes 1 'Wählen Sie die Knoten der Lagerung aus.'
*loadcreateonentity_curve nodes 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*endnotehistorystate {Created Constraints}

 

Kind regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

 

You can use catch like below

 

 catch {*loadcreateonentity_curve nodes 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0}

 

tinh

Or check if user not select any node:

*createmarkpanel nodes 1 'Wählen Sie die Knoten der Lagerung aus.'

if {[hm_marklength nodes 1]} {
     *loadcreateonentity_curve nodes 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

}
