How to pass parameters to a python/journal file?
If I have a simple Python script as below:
cubit.cmd(‘bri x {0}’.format(brick_size))
If I want to send in a parameter brick_size to this simple script, how do I do it?
How to pass parameters to a python/journal file while running Trelis from command line? If I am trying to run the above script simplebrick.jou from command line as
trelis simplebrick.jou
How should I pass it a parameter brick_size=10
You might try using a journal file that is a list of parameters in addition to the journal file with the commands.

I managed to transfer a python variable to my journal file by defining an aprepro variable after starting cubit. This loads the variable n (with the same value as r_i) that can then be used by the journal file test.jou.
import cubit
cubit.init([''])
r_i=39 #variable assignment within python
cubit.cmd('#{n=%s' % (r_i)) #assigning aprepro variable n to a string which has value r_i=39
cubit.cmd('play "test.jou"') #running test.jou journal file
In test.jou there is the line:
create Cylinder height 50 radius {n} which creates a cylinder of radius r_i=39
