Mass/momentum source at number of locations

max0014 · November 7, 2012, 17:19

Hi
I am trying to model simple 2D flow simulation where the mass/momentum source is applied through number of points. Is there a easy way to input these large number of sources (around 500) without manually adding mass/momentum source for each location?
I would highly appreciate any comments.
Many thanks in advance.

I assume you are not using the latest version. In that case, I suggest using a spreadsheet program with the '=concatenate("xxx",X1," ",X2) type syntax to generate a column of text entries for the prepin file directly. Refer to the User Manual for the variables and syntax of the prepin file.
