ERROR: Input line quote not followed by whitespace

Submitted by aashish.goyal.0110 on Fri, 01/22/2016 - 09:56

Hi all,

I am new to LIGGGHTS. After modifying the .stl file, I am getting the following error just after the code executes the fix command:

"fix cad1 all mesh/surface file screw.stl type 2 scale 1.0 curvature 1e-05
ERROR: Input line quote not followed by whitespace"

My script was working fine just with the old STL. Also, there is no problem in the new STL, as I used that in my earlier scripts.

Any ideas on what might be the reason behind this??

Thanks & Regards,
Aashish

Hi Aashish,

I think you might just have messed up the file? Try using e.g. the "meld" diff editor to check out what changes you did - you can try to debug line by line

Best wishes

thank you for posting this, I was getting the same error msg and followed your advise and now my script is running.

Is the quote sign intended at the beginning of your line?
"fix cad1 all mesh/surface file screw.stl type 2 scale 1.0 curvature 1e-05
