Hi everyone, I'm trying to automate a simulation and I need to write the input file (.dat) of a static structural analysis. In mechanical ACT console I tried with the command

ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].WriteInputFile('filename')

but I don't know if and where it is saving the .dat file. Does anyone know where the file is saved and eventually how can save it in a desired folder? Thanks

Hi so in file name you give also the directory path so e.g. , say it is in D drive and folder called Test:

See here how it is done:

All the best
