Hello everyone!

I'm working in workbench mechanical (2022r2) in a coupled field module. I want to insert apdl commands in the tree to read a table and interpolate to get some results.
I have a file (txt with values separated by comma)with element ids and for each element i have temperature and two parameters defined. Separately i have a 3D table with a result(val) based on temperature and the two parameters. !
So in the table the value is defined as val1(param1,param2,temp).
How can i read my file and interpolate on the table with apdl commands inserted in the tree? I am new to apdl.
Is there a way to do this with mechanical scripting?

/INQUIRE,numlines,LINES,'test_complete','txt'
*DEL,mytable,,NOPR
*DIM,mytable,TABLE,numlines,4 ! table array to hold data
*TREAD,mytable,'test_complete','txt','',,

this is what i used. i know it's not defined properly but i can't figure out how to define it.
Any help is much appreciated!
