Saima is an unknown quantity at this point
Hello,

I have written efficiency expression in CFX pre. It will give me a value of efficiency at each step.

Efficiency expression I have written in CFX by:
Efficiency= (((P02/P01)^(0.4/1.4))-1)/((T02/T01)-1)
P01= massFlowAve(ptotstn)@R1 Inlet
P02= massFlowAve(ptotstn)@R1 Outlet
T01= massFlowAve(Ttotstn)@R1 Inlet
T02= massFlowAve(Ttotstn)@R1 Outlet


But now I want to stop calculation once it reaches to certain convergence criteria. This need to record efficiency as a variable of iteration step.

Is anyone know how to define a variable expression in CFX pre???

Thanks in Advance...!!!!

I know that.

But how to provide Eff as a function of iteration? As by defining expression it is just take value a single step at a time.
