Description

### Discussed in https://github.com/ansys/pymechanical/discussions/1273

Originally posted by **Lucansys** August 11, 2025
Good morning!

I am trying to automate my Ansys workflow integrating the PyAnsys Geometry with parametric dimension values and PyMechanical with different input displacement scenarios that are tabular data from bearing tested values.

I tried putting these values inside Globals as .txt files:

And tried to read them like this:

But every time I initialize and try to run this:

This happens:

The values from the tabular data are not inserted inside Ansys, what should I do?

Research direction

Start with the linked Discussion #1273 and review the three attached screenshots showing the globals, the read attempt, and the resulting behavior. Reproduce the tabular-data displacement workflow described there and determine why the values are not inserted into Ansys; done means the values are successfully applied during initialization and execution.
