How can I use a *DO loop to apply several named tabular loads in Mechanical APDL?

      Below is a script demonstrating the technique to use table parameters having names ending with a sequential value within a do loop. For testing I just list the file contents so you would insert the *dim prior to your do loop and then the do loop contents of my file (after the *do up to the *enddo) into your do loop. Then uncomment the /input. The second line that starts with str(1) is set up so that you can easily change it to ‘all’ or a number such as ’24’.

      *dim,str,string,80
      *do,jj,1,100
      !
      *stat,jj
      !
      str(1)=’sfa,’
      str(1)=strcat(str(1),’area_num’)
      str(1)=strcat(str(1),’,’)
      str(1)=strcat(str(1),’1,pres,%uplift’)
      str(1)=strcat(str(1),chrval(jj))
      str(1)=strcat(str(1),’%’)
      *cfopen,cmds,inp
      *vwrite,str(1)
      %S
      *cfclose
      !/input,cmds,inp
      *list,cmds,inp
      !
      !
      !
      *enddo
