Hi

I want to runt the Tcl command with argument, For example in the tcl file i defined

proc GetElement { elemtype, i } {
set e [GiD_Info Mesh Elements $elemtype $i $i]
return $e
}

in the bas file I called
*tcl(GetElement Hexahedra 1)

But it doesn't work, nor

*set var et=Hexahedra
*tcl(GetElement *et 1)

What is the calling syntax of tcl command in this case?

In the .bas side both your syntax are ok, use the simplest one

but the arguments of a Tcl procedure must be separed by spaces, without the comma!!
instead of
proc GetElement { elemtype, i } {
set e [GiD_Info Mesh Elements $elemtype $i $i]
return $e
}
must be
proc GetElement { elemtype i } {
set e [GiD_Info Mesh Elements $elemtype $i $i]
return $e
}

You can see here a tutorial about the standart Tcl scripting language: https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/tcltutorial.html

Thanks, now I'm clear on it.
