Hi,
I'm a newbie to DM scripting. I'm doing an optimization project over a blade and need to update the computational domain in a specified interval. Only one single curve (the blade profile) must be re-imported from a new coordinate file.
As far as I know, I only need to put this line in a free *.js file:

agb.Regen();

However, when I ran the file, I got this error:

What should I do?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

(Note: SpaceClaim is not gonna work for me, because I'm meshing in 2D, and SpaceClaim doesn't preserve the blade curve when it sends the geometry to the Ansys Meshing, so the mesh cannot capture the curvature appropriately)

It looks as if the .js file was not editied in an ASCII Text editor. 
Try creating a new .js file using Notepad.

Thanks, it worked!

But I have another question. I would greatly appreciate it if you help me.

During my optimization, a 3D curve must be updated, and then, the whole geometry must be regenerated. 

I mean, how could I turn "Refresh" into "Yes" in js file:

All the best

You have to select the node first. The following example is an Import feature, but may work for Curve

 

Jscript:

 

 

var NodeName = "Import1"; // Name of the import feature

 

// Loop through the existing features and select the required one

var count = ag.fm.FeatureCount;

for (var i =0; i < count; i++) {

 

    var current = ag.fm.feature(i);

    var Name = current.Name;

 

    if (Name.toLowerCase() == NodeName.toLowerCase()) { // found the match

current.Refresh = 1; // Refresh the Geometry

break;

    }

}

agb.regen();

Thank you so much for your time.

All the best.
