i want to integrate the journal file and mechanical script for automation. <\/p>\n

I had some problems.<\/p>\n

First. When you run the journal code, the UUID value, which is the material property value, changes and is saved every time, so this value cannot be specified when running a mechanical script. <\/p>\n

So to solve this problem, I add <\/p>\n

material_name = matl1.Name
print(“Material Name: {}”.format(material_name))<\/p>\n

with open(r’C:\\Users\\hyu3\\Desktop\\bar_example\\material_name.txt’, ‘w’) as f:
    f.write(material_name)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

this code to journal file , and fix the mechanical script code like this <\/p>\n

#region UI Action
with Transaction(True):
    body_21 = DataModel.GetObjectById(21)
    body_21.Material = material_name
#endregion<\/p>\n

Second. I want to integrate this processes in one python code.<\/p>\n

Can you give me any advice or guide line? <\/p>\n

here is my full code about the journal file<\/p>\n

# encoding: utf-8
# 2024 R1
SetScriptVersion(Version=”24.1.144″)<\/p>\n

# Static Structural 
template1 = GetTemplate(
    TemplateName=”Static Structural”,
    Solver=”ANSYS”)
system1 = template1.CreateSystem()<\/p>\n

favorites1 = EngData.LoadFavoriteItems()<\/p>\n

library1 = EngData.OpenLibrary(
    Name=”General Materials”,
    Source=”General_Materials.xml”)
engineeringData1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName=”Engineering Data”)
matl1 = engineeringData1.ImportMaterial(
    Name=”Stainless Steel”,
    Source=”General_Materials.xml”)<\/p>\n

EngData.EnableFilter(Enable=False)
EngData.EnableFilter()<\/p>\n

material_name = matl1.Name
print(“Material Name: {}”.format(material_name))<\/p>\n

with open(r’C:\\Users\\hyu3\\Desktop\\bar_example\\material_name.txt’, ‘w’) as f:
    f.write(material_name)<\/p>\n

geometry1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName=”Geometry”)
geometry1.SetFile(FilePath=”C:\/Users\/hyu3\/Desktop\/bar_example\/bar.stp”)<\/p>\n

modelComponent1 = system1.GetComponent(Name=”Model”)
modelComponent1.Refresh()
model1 = system1.GetContainer(ComponentName=”Model”)
model1.Edit()<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here is my mechanical script file code <\/p>\n

# NOTE: All workflows will not be recorded, as recording is under development.<\/p>\n

# Set the unit system
ExtAPI.Application.ActiveUnitSystem = MechanicalUnitSystem.StandardNMM<\/p>\n

with open(r’C:\\Users\\hyu3\\Desktop\\bar_example\\material_name.txt’, ‘r’) as f:
    material_name = f.read().strip()<\/p>\n
