Adding Variables to Display Titles from an UDF or Scheme

anan12345 · October 12, 2021, 04:27

Hello, does anyone has any experience with adding a variable to the display titles?
For an example I would like to have a changing variable just like time which is implemented by default to a transient analysis animation. I have enabled this by File>Preferences>Appearance>Titles

In fluent TUI, I have found that Title names can be customized. I would like to add another dynamic variable that changes over time to the animation display.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

there is an option to add annotations

Code:

display> annotate title

but you should click on the screen to place it, so I don't see an option to make it dynamic

The main problem with what you suggested and what I'm trying to do is that fluent accepts string inputs for those commands.

I did try something like (format #f "Moment Z is ~a" <variable>) with all its possible variants I could think of, but inside the string input quotation marks are not accepted.

Also, Fluent automatically updates the time part of the title, so in my opinion this should be possible in someway.

if you need quotation marks you need to use \ before "

Code:

(format #f "Moment Z is \"~a\"" <variable>)
