APDL Script/Commands Editor

So far I am using Notepad ++ to create my scripts input files. Is there any editor that would be able to show syntax of APDL commands when writing them? And perhaps would be able to auto-finish/propose commands that you start to write?

Example: user writes in editor EMODIF and editor shows him assistance information such as "EMODIF, IEL, STLOC" so user knows what data is required next.

Thanks!

PsPaD offers this capability if I recall correctly. PsPad

Hello,
I think there is no such a thing or is not up to date. If you use Notepad++ you can start with in

CODE -->

C:\Program Files\Notepad++\autoCompletion

or

CODE -->

C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\autoCompletion

folder and create your own file. I attached an example file with some commands as a hint.

Best regards

Isn't this a thing in the newest version 2019 R3 when writing to command object?

Yes, it is. But I think the original post is meant outside ANSYS environment. I did some "copy/paste/replace" trick and I got basic commands without description. At this point it is necessary to open specific command and add the details or do some grab script to extract the details and do again "copy/paste/replace" tricks. See attach.

There is one official one on notepad++:
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/commun/userDefinedLang/userDefineLang_ANSYS.xml.

I've made a few changes to it. Here's the linkhttps://drive.google.com/open?id=1ORdqhUQV-6yAz-uq3X5ncHQtgk9-azuG

Best,
Jason

Dear Jason,
yes, it exists, but as the command only hint, not as the syntax of the command itself. And the original post asked for the whole syntax of the command.
