Dealing with unknown parameter names

[laserablaatio]

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

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

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