Load multiple dat-files

[AndersHansson]

I have created an excel sheet that gives output in form of *.dat files that contains the points from which I want to create splines from.
I now have 30 *.dat-files that corresponds to one spline each.
The problem now is that it simply takes a lot of time to load the files one by one.
I would like to mark all dat-files and load at the same time, but it doesn't seem to be possible.

I've definitely seen a routine created in GRIP to automate this process. You might try using some of the automation tools (ie: record a macro; not just GRIP per se) to run through the spline creation process for all the files. Sorry I am not "giving" you a packaged answer.

Okay, thank you for the information.
I did find some information regarding "home made" macros and so on.
But I have no idea in how and where to write these macros in NX.
Do you know some simple guide in how to do this?

A bit OT.
I have also heard that it might be possible to to macros for more things, in my case it would be heaven to be able to to the following steps autamatic.
1. Load 30 dat-files.
2. Create 6 sheets based on the splines.
3. Sew the sheets together.
4. Devide the faces
5. Mesh
6. Create 5 load cases
7. Solve


The reason I want autamatic modelling is because I have a lot of identigal cases to calculate where the only thing differs is the geometry (in form of the input dat-files), otherwise everything is following the same procedure.
