Hi there all,
this is my first thread, I was hoping you could help me with a very simple question:

is there a text command I can type into the text user interface that will clear the window of all the old text ?

Like, in Matlab for example, you have "clear all" - is there something similar in Fluent ?

Thanks,
James

Hi.

Did you find a solution?

[destroy]

any solution?

I know this is an old thread but it looks like there're still people looking for a solution. Here's what I came up with... it doesn't actually "clear" the console in the same way you would in a command line, but it flushes the window with newlines, it's more aesthetic than anything else, but helps me focus on what I last typed.

(define (clear)
    (format "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"))

If you want this available in every session, you can add it to your .fluent file, one windows it's located at:

%HOMEPATH%.fluent

If it doesn't exist, just open it up in a text editor and save that command.

Now you can use

(clear)

to clear the TUI window.

Hope that helps.

Great Thanks a ton for the code.
