i want to integrate the journal file and mechanical script for automation. 

I had some problems.

First. When you run the journal code, the UUID value, which is the material property value, changes and is saved every time, so this value cannot be specified when running a mechanical script. 

So to solve this problem, I add 

material_name = matl1.Name
print("Material Name: {}".format(material_name))

with open(r'C:\Users\hyu3\Desktop\bar_example\material_name.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(material_name)

 

this code to journal file , and fix the mechanical script code like this 

#region UI Action
with Transaction(True):
    body_21 = DataModel.GetObjectById(21)
    body_21.Material = material_name
#endregion

Second. I want to integrate this processes in one python code.

Can you give me any advice or guide line? 

here is my full code about the journal file

# encoding: utf-8
# 2024 R1
SetScriptVersion(Version="24.1.144")

# Static Structural 
template1 = GetTemplate(
    TemplateName="Static Structural",
    Solver="ANSYS")
system1 = template1.CreateSystem()

favorites1 = EngData.LoadFavoriteItems()

library1 = EngData.OpenLibrary(
    Name="General Materials",
    Source="General_Materials.xml")
engineeringData1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName="Engineering Data")
matl1 = engineeringData1.ImportMaterial(
    Name="Stainless Steel",
    Source="General_Materials.xml")

EngData.EnableFilter(Enable=False)
EngData.EnableFilter()

material_name = matl1.Name
print("Material Name: {}".format(material_name))

with open(r'C:\Users\hyu3\Desktop\bar_example\material_name.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(material_name)

geometry1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName="Geometry")
geometry1.SetFile(FilePath="C:/Users/hyu3/Desktop/bar_example/bar.stp")

modelComponent1 = system1.GetComponent(Name="Model")
modelComponent1.Refresh()
model1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName="Model")
model1.Edit()

 

And here is my mechanical script file code 

# NOTE: All workflows will not be recorded, as recording is under development.

# Set the unit system
ExtAPI.Application.ActiveUnitSystem = MechanicalUnitSystem.StandardNMM

with open(r'C:\Users\hyu3\Desktop\bar_example\material_name.txt', 'r') as f:
    material_name = f.read().strip()

#region UI Action
with Transaction(True):
    body_21 = DataModel.GetObjectById(21)
    body_21.Material = material_name
#endregion

#region Details View Action
body_21.NonlinearEffects = False
#endregion

#region Details View Action
body_21.ThermalStrainEffects = False
#endregion

#region Context Menu Action
mesh_16 = Model.Mesh
sizing_39 = mesh_16.AddSizing()
#endregion

#region Details View Action
selection = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
selection.Ids = [30]
sizing_39.Location = selection
#endregion

#region Details View Action
sizing_39.ElementSize = Quantity(5, "mm")
#endregion

#region Context Menu Action
analysis_25 = DataModel.GetObjectById(25)
force_41 = analysis_25.AddForce()
#endregion

#region Details View Action
selection = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
selection.Ids = [26]
force_41.Location = selection
#endregion

#region Details View Action
force_41.DefineBy = LoadDefineBy.Components
#endregion

#region Details View Action
force_41.YComponent.Output.SetDiscreteValue(0, Quantity(-1000, "N"))
#endregion

#region Context Menu Action
fixed_support_43 = analysis_25.AddFixedSupport()
#endregion

#region Details View Action
selection = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
selection.Ids = [28]
fixed_support_43.Location = selection
#endregion

#region Context Menu Action
solution_26 = DataModel.GetObjectById(26)
total_deformation_45 = solution_26.AddTotalDeformation()
#endregion

#region Context Menu Action
equivalent_elastic_strain_rst46 = solution_26.AddEquivalentElasticStrainRST()
#endregion

#region Context Menu Action
equivalent_stress_47 = solution_26.AddEquivalentStress()
#endregion

Hello,

You can use something like:

Model.Geometry.Children[0].Children[0].Material="Structural Steel"

instead of using journal code.
