Hi All,
My CFX tasks requires to set physical time (time step in sec).. On the workstation I can easily change the time step during the process of converging monitoring.
question:
Is any way to set up time step on certain iteration and create *.def to be solved on a cluster (no gui) after?
Thankx,
me

I'm not sure if I totally understand your question but you can use cfx5cmds to read a def file into a ccl file which you can then change and write the new ccl back into the def file. Or you can put the new timestep information into a ccl file and append it at runtime using the -ccl option on cfx5solve. Is this what you are after, or no?

ah.. typed in CL: cfx5cmds -help %)
could you pls write a command line (as an example to change time step) thankx in advance

Let's say you have a def file called test.def. You would type cfx5cmds -read -def test.def -ccl test.ccl to read the command language from the def file into a ccl file that can be changed. In test.ccl you will find something like:

CONVERGENCE CONTROL:
Maximum Number of Iterations = 100
Minimum Number of Iterations = 1
Physical Timescale = 1 [s]
Timescale Control = Physical Timescale
END

Edit the physical timescale line to what you want. Then type cfx5cmds -write -def test.def -ccl test.ccl to write the new command language to the original def file. The def file will now contain the new ccl commands.

Hope that helps.

!!!thanks!!!
Works ok

btw: there is another way to set up time in -PRE.... 300*1e-6, 100*1e-4 [s] meas 300steps at 1e-6s and 100steps at 1e-4s right after first 300steps

imnull, could you please tell me in what field do you print this
300*1e-6 and etc ?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you in advance!

here is a prtscrn (in pre-)

Can i use the 300*10,100*1 for the output frequency? I want to export the Trn results every 10 timestep in the first 300 timestep and every 1 timestep after 300 timestep?

[yanglu]

Hi, I tried to input the command from the prompt but it shows that the cfx5cmds command not found. Could you please tell me what I did wrong?
Thanks.

Probably. But why not give it a try?

[ghorrocks]

The OS probably cannot find the cfx5cmds command because it is not on the path. The best way to fix this is to use a command editor started from the CFX Launcher as that has all the paths correctly set. So redo it from a command line started from the CFX Launcher.

It is impossible to input the multiply in the box. Maybe there is other way to do that.

I need to load CFX first to use the command. But I want to edit the settings of the run in progress. I changed the timestep interval of the .def file but the simulation output frequency does not change.

I am not sure edit run in progress is supported from the command line. The normal way of doing it is with the Solver Manager.
