I am current doing the automation process for my team. I wanna let user input some values so that I can use in my code. I know that mechanical scripting is based on ironpython, but the regular &#039;input()&#039; in python does not work, so do the &#039;raw_input()&#039; of ironpython. When using &#039;input()&#039; the EOF error would occur, and using the &#039;raw_input([prompt])&#039; it will only print the prompt string and give no way to enter the value. The variable returned a null string as a result. I am wondering is there any ways that I can let user input value in scripting, or any ACT app that can achieve this result? Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-169153","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-act","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical","topic-tag-mechanical-apdl","topic-tag-scripting","topic-tag-scripting-journaling-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["3951"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["252314"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["169153"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["88","200","58821","252314"],"_bbp_voice_count":["4"],"_bbp_reply_count":["7"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["213855"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["213855"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-05-10 13:45:12"]},"test":"dariuscheung0105gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169153\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
