Hello everyone,
I work with Mechanical and workbench Scripting a lot .
Specifically, I run calculations in Mechanical using gitlab runner to planify the execution of my tests.

My scripts all follow the same structure , that i will simplify here.
A first Bash Script calls a Main Journal using the following flags :
#################
"%AWP_ROOT242%\Framework\bin\Win64\RunWB2.exe" -B -R "%CI_PROJECT_DIR%\MainJournal.wbjn"
#################

MainJournal.wbjn :
#################
# Setup Environment variables
...
# setup files
...
# Run script
RunScript(FilePath=Another_journal.wbjn)
#################

 

Another_journal.wbjn does operations that are specific to every calculation i run.

Another_journal.wbjn : 
#################
# More setup
...
# load model
Unarchive(ArchivePath="Model.wbpz", ProjectPath="Model_name.wbpj")
system1 = GetSystem(Name="SYS")
container1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName="Setup")
container1.Edit()
Simulation.RunScript(FilePath="Macro_file.py", IsMeshing=False, ModelName="Model")
#################

In 23 R2, this worked flawlessly. 

However, when we updated from Ansys 23R2 to Ansys 24R2, all my scripts stopped working. 
I have narrowed the failure to the container1.Edit() line. my scripts would just stop there, and do nothing.
Through trial and error, i realized that i could simply remove that .edit() line and most of my scripts would still work.
Not all though. For example , i cannot use legend.Reset() specifically, as well as some other things like OnClick callbacks linked to Mechanical Interface buttons do not work .
I understand that this is a very limited use case, but could anyone point me to what changed between versions 23 and 24 with the container.edit() function ?
Additionnally, what could i do to re-add the .Edit() line ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

PS:  If someone could tell me how to format a block of text as code i would appreciate it too !

Hi antoine,

ANSYS ACT Migration Notes does not indicate this API change, have you tried recording the same function in both versions? Is it any different?
