Hello,

I have a full script ready. I intend to use the script to do over 80 meshes with slightly varying geometry. The problem I currently have with my script file is that it's trying to import the geometry file from a specific directory. I was wondering if it's possible to select the geometry file from the same folder where the script is run from by default in a much more general context.

This is how the first couple lines of the script looks like,

ic_undo_group_begin
ic_geo_cre_geom_input {C:/Users/***/Desktop/SCRIPT NACA0012/NACA0012.dat} 0.001 input PNTS pnt CRVS crv SURFS srf
ic_boco_solver

I tried to simply omit the C:/Users... simply with a "{./NACA0012.dat}" However that didn't work. Any clue what I could do?

Regards,
Vicky

Hi Vicky,

ICEM does understand relative paths, which means simply "NACA.dat" would be sufficient, if the file is in the current work directory.
In windows, if you use the start menu link to ICEM your default current-work-directory is your home/user directory (i believe).
Use "ic_chdir" to go into a different, desired directory:

ic_chdir "C:/CFD/..."

Put this somewhere in the beginning of your script.

It would be better, if you can start ICEM within the desired directory from the begin. Then the current work directory is already set to the desired directory.
The neccessarity to set a working directory is coming from the tcl-environment which ICEM's GUI is written in.

Best regards,
Sebastian
