expression error in parametric set
 

Hello everyone.

I am trying to define expression for first layer thickness as an input parameter in CFX study. But I am not able to define function exponantion (^).

The error message is: " unsupported operand type(s) for ^: 'float' and 'float'

How can I bypass this issue? Can anyone help please?

I have also one more question. Is it possible to modify mesh during the simulation? For example to calculate first few iterations and then use Reynolds number from this simulation to define first layer thickness for "improved simulation"?

Thanks for any reply.

Regards

Have you tried ** instead of ^?
Just a guess as CFX uses a lot of FORTRAN and in FORTRAN you have to write **.

thank you for quick reply. It really works so thanks again.

concerning the second question any ideas pls?

not really.
Except from running the simulation, stopping it at a special reynoldsnumber, remeshing, setting up a new file and restarting the computation...but i doubt it works automatically...

but as I said...dunno much about that...not to say nothing...never had such a problem and therefore never dealt with that subject...

ok..and is it possible to use some output parameter as a part of expression for input parameter?

I guess you're running your case in Workbench, so yes, it is kind of possible. But WB doesn't really understand circular references, so every time your simulation is run and the output parameter is refreshed you have to hit the 'Update' button on WB so it restarts and updates everything with the new input parameter.

To make relations between parameters, simply click your input parameter at the 'Parameter Set' view and at the 'Description' box write the ID of the output parameter from the other cell (P1, P2, etc).

Cheers
