Hi guys! I really need your help.<\/p>\n

I created 1000 .txt files with each .txt file containing the coordinates of a trimmed cosine curve. This is the format:<\/p>\n

1 2.41 -7.07
1 2.41 -7.0558
1 2.41 -7.0417
1 2.41 -7.0275
1 2.4099 -7.0134
1 2.4099 -6.9992  etc. <\/p>\n

In this example below, I load in one of these files in the SpaceClaim script editor: <\/p>\n

# Insert From File<\/div>\n
DocumentInsert.Execute(r”C:\\Users\\20182785\\iCloudDrive\\TUe\\BMT\\Year 3\\Q4\\BEP\\Matlab_probeersels\\1000_cosines\\trimmed_cos_points_7.txt”, FileSettings1, GetMaps(“f5a15159”))<\/div>\n

result = ViewHelper.SetViewMode(mode, Info2)<\/div>\n

selection = Curve2<\/div>\n
result = RevolveEdges.Execute(selection, Line.Create(Point.Create(MM(0), MM(0), MM(0)), <\/div>\n

selection = Edge2<\/div>\n
secondarySelection = Edge2<\/div>\n
options = ExtrudeEdgeOptions()<\/div>\n
result = ExtrudeEdges.Execute(selection, secondarySelection, MM(-20), options, Info4)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
# Extrude 1 Edge<\/div>\n
selection = Edge1<\/div>\n

options = ExtrudeEdgeOptions()<\/div>\n
result = ExtrudeEdges.Execute(selection, secondarySelection, MM(20), options, Info5)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
# Fill<\/div>\n
selection = Edge3<\/div>\n
secondarySelection = Selection.Empty()<\/div>\n
options = FillOptions()<\/div>\n
result = Fill.Execute(selection, secondarySelection, options, FillMode.ThreeD, Info11)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n

selection = Body1<\/div>\n
anchorPoint = Move.GetAnchorPoint(selection)<\/div>\n
axis = Line.Create(anchorPoint, Direction.DirX)<\/div>\n
options = MoveOptions()<\/div>\n
result = Move.Rotate(selection, axis, DEG(90.0000000000002), options, Info3)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
filename = r”C:\\Users\\20182785\\iCloudDrive\\TUe\\BMT\\Year 3\\Q4\\BEP\\Save_geometries\\Automated\\scdocs\\Artery7.scdoc”<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
# Save File<\/div>\n
DocumentSave.Execute(filename)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n

If I run this script, the following geometry is created:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The problem is that I want to create a loop (in the script editor) in which I can loop over the 1000 txt files containing the trimmed cosine curve coordinates (instead of only loading in one file) in order to create and save the 1000 geometries. How can I do this? A large problem is that once one geometry is created, the second one will be created in the same “design” file resulting in geometries that overwrite each other (and errors). For that, a new ‘design’ file needs te be opened in each run of the loop. How can this be done? Thank you in advance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-287937","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-3d-geomertry","topic-tag-ansys-spaceclaim","topic-tag-scriptspaceClaim-1","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
