There are 3 ways to run a script in Ansys fluent:

1. In fluent, File-Read-Journal, select the script file.

2. In Workbench, File-Scripting-Open Command Window, type in the following command to call the script file:

script = open('FLAG_SETUP_SCRIPT', 'r').read()

setup1.SendCommand(Command=script)

3. In Workbench, File-Scripting-Run Script File, select the script file. This is equivalent to running Ansys workbench with the following command line codes:

"FLAG_ANSYS_PATH" -B -E RunScript(FilePath='FLAG_WORKBENCH_PATH')

In Ansys 2020R1 and 2020R2 PAID version, but NOT in the STUDENT version, the following line of codes triggers an error if it is loaded in way 3. This line of code is from recorded journal in Fluent via File-Write-Start Journal... The last parameter 9 is for Hershel-Bulkley model, but the same error occurs for any changes to the viscosity model.

(cx-gui-do cx-set-list-selections "Create/Edit Materials*Table2*Table1(Properties)*DropDownList7(Viscosity)" '( 9))

Any suggestions if I'm changing the viscosity model using a Workbench script (wbjn file)?

Correction, it was 2020R1 and 2021R2 versions.
