Hello!

I have been developing python scripts which automate some routines within ansys workbench. I usually initialize the scripts through the command line. Sometimes random error messages pop up during startup, which I manually dismiss, and the automation script continues to work as expected. Is there a python macro command that does the following to fix this issue:

if: an error message pops up

      *click "okay" to dismiss the message prompt*

end 

Thank you for any help!

Can you please give example of such errors? if you can give some details about your workflow along with that will be helpful too.

Hi Aniket!

The errors are mostly GUI errors or just Project schematic errors when ANSYS originally opens. For example, a common error is: "Unexpected error while refreshing pane ProjectSchematic: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." 99% of the time I supress these random errors and the automation works as expected.

I initialize these Automation scripts from the command line. The automation workflow is usually editing a parameter set and running all unsolved design points.

All I am looking for is the Macro that does: 

if: an error message pops up

      *click "okay" to dismiss the message prompt*

end 

I have tried to record a script but I cannot create an error to create the script it if that makes any sense

Thank you

No, you cannot supress popup windows, but you can launch workbench in batch, so there is no GUI displayed:

"ANSYS Inc\v232\Framework\bin\Win64\RunWB2.exe" -B -R my_script.py
Using the -R or -E argument will force it to run in batch mode even without -B.

"ANSYS Inc\v232\Framework\bin\Win64\runwb2.bat" -R my_script.txt

But you should be more concerned why you are getting error messages. Try deleting or renaming the Ansys cache while workbench is closed to reset all settings:

%APPDATA%\Ansys

You may have something wrong with your Ansys installation, or you are launching a network installation and do not have good network connectivity.
