Hello,

I would like to ask you if there is possibility in CFX print in *.out file something different than the "residuals" and I mean for example the some monitors.

Thank you and regards,
Ivan

Please explain what your goal is. 'Something' is too vague.

Also have a look at the solver manager. There are lots of variables you can plot there, not just residuals. Maybe one of those other variables is your "something".

Hello,

thank you for your answers and if I have some expression for monitoring of mass flow rate is it possible to print in with residuals into *.out file in CFX ?
I know that in the Fluent it is possible to print residuals and for example lift coefficient, mass flow rates and another monitors.
Is there the same possibility in CFX ?

Thank you and regards,
Ivan

print mass flow rate ... ?

[AtoHM]

No, the out file will only contain the stuff you already see there. The monitor point values are stored in the .res file after the simulation is concluded.



It wouldn't be of much help there anyway because you had to extract those values from the text file in some way in order to access them.

As the others said, you CAN access the values in the Solver Manager tool. There is a Tab called User Points which allows you to see the monitor point values. Right mouse click lets you export these values to a csv table.


If you look for a way to check the monitor point values while the simulation is running: during the run, those values are stored in a folder called <your-simulation-name>.bin in the file "mon".
Start the Solver Manager tool, select "Open a CFX-Solver run progress for monitoring" and select the folder i mentioned. The tool will read out the current monitor values from the file.

If you want to monitor a user defined mass flow rate in solver manager then define a monitor point with your flow rate. It will be visible in Solver Manager. The previous post by AtoHM sort of said this, but maybe I clarified it.
