Script for selecting particular domains

skn455 · February 20, 2015, 05:57

I need to create an unstructured block by selecting a few unstructured domains using Create>Extrude>Normal . I want to write a script to select those domains only .

I wrote this (By copying from the journal )

pw::FaceUnstructured createFromDomains[list $_DM(1) $_DM(2) $_DM(16) $_DM(3) ]

But I get the error

can't read "_DM(1)": no such variable
How should I mention the domain names in this command?

The full script documentation is on the pointwise website.

If you want the user to select the domains in the script. You will need to use the pw:: Display getSelectedEntities command.

If you know the names of the domains, you can use the pw::Grid getByName command.

You can also look at the Pointwise github script repository for many examples. Find a script that is similar to what you are trying to accomplish and take a look!
