saving figures in batch mode

R.D.Prabhu

Hello,

I have the following problem :

I wish to know whether we can save figures (like..file/hardcopy/save..)...while running FLUENT in the batch mode. (i.e with the FLUENT -g option)

The other problem I am facing is: I run the following command at the unix prompt: "fluent -g inputfile & outputfile & " with the inputfile given as : " 3d

rc case_filename

rd data_filename

it 1000

exit "

The case file consists of all the necessary commands to store the images ( in Solve/monitor/Commands).I am simulating an UNSTEADY case.

What is surprising is ..FLUENT seems to be running the steady state version of the problem. Why is this so ? Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks

Prabhu
