How do you write a custom error/warning message to the log using scripting?

For example, if a beam probe's shear stress is too high, I want to report that to the error/warning log. Is there a way that can be done?

You can create a Warning message in the Mechanical message window by using the following command lines:

msg = Ansys.Mechanical.Application.Message('my Warning message as string...', MessageSeverityType.Warning)
ExtAPI.Application.Messages.Add(msg)

Some more information can be obtained from the ANSYS Help: https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v195/act_script/mech_apis_MessageWindow.html
