Hello All,

I am attempting to find the value of a surface-integral and store it to a variable. (I would prefer an answer using Journal however is it is only possible in Scheme then I will work with that).

So far I have tried:
(define machnum1 ("/report/surface-integrals/mass-weighted-avg 13 , mach no"))

I get an error:

Error: eval: invalid function
Error Object: "/report/surface-integrals/mass-weighted-avg 13 , mach no"


Any help with this would be highly appreciated!

(define (machnum1)
(pick-a-real"report/surface-integral/mwa (13) mach no"))

Thank you Kushal! Your help is appreciated!

I thought this would be enough, however I am running into a second issue.

Basically I am trying to determine if the Mach number is greater than 1 and depending if it is or isn't change the cfl number.

I have done:
(if (> machnum1 1) (ti-menu-load-string "/solve/set/courant-number/10") (ti-menu-load-string "/solve/set/courant-number/100"))

However it doesn't seem to be working, as "machnum1" is not an value (I should have specified I required this in numerical form in my original question - apoligies)

I really have no clue where to go from here.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

I have found the solution:

(define machnum1(string->number (pick "/report/surface-integrals/mass-weighted-avg (11) mach-number")))

This will create machnum1 as a double and allow one to use it in standard operations.
