supress errors or warnings.

[rserrano]

Hi, i'm building a small application in ansys that generates a geometry parametrically.

I'm using aovlap to see if two areas have an intersection and they don't just touch. The problem is that an error is generated every time that the command fails. If the command fails, i can catch the error it from TCL/TK and i know that the areas do not intersect, but, i don't want the error window to appear.

¿any ideas?

Go to Menu Controls at the top of the window, then select message controls from the drop-down. You have the option to disable warning or error messages. It also shows the equivilant apdl commands in that window.

You can check any errors at any time by file->list->error file.

Thanks, it worked for warnings, for errors i found this:

/UIS,MSGPOP,4
Suppresses error message pop-up dialog box. (Error messages will still be recorded in the jobname.err file and output window/file.)

Another question that i have, is that i need to calculate some areas. But, every time an ASUM a window with the information about areas, moments of inertia, etc appears. I just want to calculate the area, not the window to appear.
