HI,

I want to move geometry parts in ICEM CFD with a replay script. instead of useing specific values, i want to use the z location of a given geometry point for example the point VERT713.

instead of:
ic_move_geometry curve names {EDGE1152} translate {0 0 0.3}

sowmthing like that:

ic_move_geometry curve names {EDGE1152} translate {0 0 "value of z-location of VERT713"}

I found this in the ansys help but i cant figure it out how to transfer to this case.

Tip: To use an existing point to indicate the location to be used, you can use the following in the replay script:

set name pnt.00 ;# point must exist
set loc [ic_geo_get_point_location $name]
set x [lindex $loc 0]
set y [lindex $loc 1]
set z [lindex $loc 2]
ic_hex_split_edge 21 25 0 $x $y $z

i tried a lot of options but it just does not work

Thank You Very Much!!!

1. set x 0.02
2. set y 0.01
3. set z 0
4. ic_move_geometry curve names {EDGE797 EDGE809} translate {$x $y $z}

Hi Steffen,

there is a small syntax convention of tcl you might not know.

tcl (and in this case ICEM) prevents substitution of variables if they are put between curly braces ({). For example:

> set x 1
> set y 2
> {$x $y}
Result> $x $y

In your case, replace the braces with double quotes (") to allow substition of variables. Then it should work =)

> set x 1
> set y 2
> "$x $y"
Result> 1 2

With regards,
Sebastian
