  Hi there
  I have a bunch of APDL scripts in my Workbench model in the Solution folder that are writing coordinates and stresses to a file for various named selections.
  In the scripts I have the following line:
  cmsel,s,selection_name ! Select nodes which are defined in Named Selection
  The problem is that the postprocessing will stop if a selection_name is not found. As a consequence all subsequent postprocessing scripts won't run through either.
  I would like to have it this way. If a selection_name can't be found the corresponding script shall be aborted but the following scripts shall be executed. How can I solve this?
  KR, Hans

  You can use *GET command to get a list of component names and then compare against that list. Something along this line.
  *get,ncomp,comp,,ncomp ! get number of components in your model
  *dim,names,string,80,ncomp ! create a string array that can have up to 80 characters
  *do,i,1,ncomp,1
  *get,names(1,i),comp,i,name
  *enddo
  Then in a loop check your component name against this list?
