QT Script Getting Started Simulation CFD 2015 wrong/not updated?

[e1028439]

Hey guys,

i am trying to get a basic Design Study set up with QT script, but not even the Getting Started Example is working...

With python i was able to find the files and read the code, so any differences between the docs and the code were not a huge problem, but with qt i am stuck...

I changed 2 lines in the Getting Started Example,

1)

>>> study.path = C:/models”;   ---> study.path = C:/Users/<>/Desktop/sims”;

2)

>>> study.open(“poppet-valve.x_t”); ---> study.open(“teststudy.x_t”); (i also tried the full path, which is "C:/Users/<>/Desktop/sims/teststudy.x_t")

the message i get in the logfile is:

>> Creating new design study...
>> ERROR: Error: 'teststudy.x_t' is not a design study file
>> ERROR: <anonymous>()@C:/Users/<>/Desktop/sims/script.js:13
>> ERROR: Script failed

somehow study.open() does not load a cad file any more, but a study file... i tried "study.add()" too, which tells me "No active design study"...

Can anyone give me a working example of this Getting Started?

Cheers!

try "new" ?!

Thanks for your reply,

but there is no "new()" on DesignStudy,

and:

---

s = new DesignStudy();

s.name = "Test";

s.path = "C:/Users/<>/Desktop/sims";

s.save(); <<--- This crashes the SimCFD process (Yes, folder exists!)!

Copy-paste from the documentation link is creating some bad characters. Also a "quote" is missing around C:/Models" (our bad). 

Save the attached getting_started.script on your machine. Open Simulation CFD -> Design Study Tools -> Script Editor -> File -> Open -> getting_started.script. Tools -> Run should execute the script.

Below is what is happning in the script.

log.showConsole();               // used to debug scripts
study = new DesignStudy;         // gets handle to design study
study.path = "C:/Models";        // sets the path for files to be loaded (geometry for example)
study.name = "poppet";           // study name
study.createFrom("poppet-valve.x_t");    // load geometry

You must have C:\Models\poppet-valve.x_t on your machine for the above to work.

study.open is used to open an existing design study (.cfdst file).

First of all, 

thank you very much for your answer, i will try it as soon as i get back to my desktop machine.

Please allow me to mark your answer as solution myself,

once i got the time to test it, and it works.
