The problem of tcl command "*calculateElemDrapingAngles"

Hi, everyone.

    I encountered a problem when I record tcl command of 'Drape Estimator' in the GUI. In command.tcl file, it gives the the command:

*calculateElemDrapingAngles 1 './draping1001/draping1001.res' 'DrapeTable_PLY1001' 1 2 1001

    While in the help files, the explanation of the command of '*calculateElemDrapingAngles' is

*calculateElemDrapingAngles mark_id result_file table_name fiber_vector stamping_vector ply_id

result_file: Reserved for future use.  Must be set to ''.

 (1) How is the result file './draping1001/draping1001.res'  generated? (the generation process of the result file was not recorded in the 'command.tcl' file )  What's the full directory path of the result file? (in HyperWorks 14.0)

 (2) The parameter of result_file in the command cannot be blank when executing this command. The software throws a error: A results file must be specified in the files panel. So, is there a problem with the explanation of the help files to this command?

 

Can anybody gives me some advices?

Thanks.
