How can I break a fluent calculation?

enry · March 1, 2010, 05:10

Hi, I'm simulating an unsteady flow, and I impose some time steps to FLUENT "a priori"; however my goal is to break FLUENT calculation "a posteriori", under some bond.

So my idea is to to write a UDF that under some bond impose to FLUENT to break the calculation, even if I impose "a priori" the number of time steps, but FLUENT can't read the command "exit" in my UDF.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Did you try the touch-command?

I didnt try it, but maybe it helps.

See section 3.7 Input/Output Macros in UDF manual. It might help...

good luck
