I’m currently running into an issue with scripting. I have all prerequisite files available as per the video instruction. The script used to work correctly previously.
For some reason now, during the scripting routine, whenever the plane definition file is imported, it also imports airfoil geometries that overwrite the current airfoils in the project, eliminating the polar data that had already been associated to them.
Which prevents the analysis from running due to the airfoils now not having any polar info.

replied 1 year ago It shows that the foils.xfl file project was not loaded.
It was one of my tests. I have run with the project loaded to no effect.
João Hackbart answered 1 year ago
For future reference, it seems that the issue is that the project that must be pre-loaded has to be the exact same project from where the plane/analysis where extracted.
Hello,
The log file says “Could not open the project file:…” which suggests that the path is wrong or that the file does not exist.

replied 1 year ago Thank you for the answer and sorry for the confusion with the log files.
This was an oversight on this particular run. I have made other runs that had the project loaded but still did not work.
From what I have seen it seems to me that the project file to be loaded must be the same project file as where the analysis and planes were extracted from.
Could you confirm which project is supposed to be loaded?
As far as I can tell everything seems to work fine. Note that any airfoil and its polars that are read from the .xfl file will be overwritten if a foil of the same name is loaded at the next stage of the script from the .dat or .plr files.

replied 1 year ago So just to be clear. If I load the geometries e polares from the project file, there’s no need to also load them separately?
It works like in the GUI. The script loads the various files in sequence, and overwrites any existing object with the same name.

replied 1 year ago Alright, that might be the source of my issue. I had 3 separate origins for the same files.
Thank you for the help!
