Dealing with unknown parameter names

Dealing with unknown parameter names

Dealing with unknown parameter names

(OP)
Hi all,
Is there any way to change ansys behaviour with an unknown parameter value? I would like the program to stop batch processing when an unknown parameter value is encountered - now it does not do that, which may lead to hard-to-find errors.

An example in the version I use (9.2)
tmpvar = DINGDONG  !(DINGDONG not defined previously)
!output in interactive mode:
!*** WARNING ***
!Unknown parameter name= DINGDONG. A value of 7.888609052E-31 !will be used.
!
!no output in batch mode

RE: Dealing with unknown parameter names

Hi,

The comand

*get,partype,parm,DINGDONG,type

checks if parameter is defined and if so, it checks what kind of parapater that is.

The you can use the *if comand to stop the run if necessary:

*if,partype,eq,-1,then
   /exit
*endif

Regards,
Alex

RE: Dealing with unknown parameter names

Look at the /NERR command.  You can set program to stop at the first warning.
