except: pass
externalLoadData1 = setup1.GetExternalLoadData()
externalLoadFileData1 = externalLoadData1.GetExternalLoadFileData(Name="ExternalLoadFileData")
file = externalLoadFileData1.File.Location
returnValue(file)
'''.replace('<$coord$>',coord)
    return wbjn.ExecuteCommand(ExtAPI,WBcmds)


impload = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByType(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.ImportedLoads.ImportedLoadGroup)[0]
impload_file = GetImportedLoadMainFile(impload)
