I want to assign a material to wall using the scheme command. Anyone worked on it.
Thanks

Find out what you need to type in the text user interface.

Probably something like "//define/boundary-conditions/wall", and then look at the answers that you have to type in Fluent.

Then put everything in one line. "//define/boundary-conditions/wall answer-1 answer-2 answer-3 ... answer-n"

Check if that works by typing this line (without the quotation marks) into Fluent.

If that works, you can also put this in scheme in this way:

(ti-menu-load-string "your text here")

Thanks for the reply, i already tried this but this is the lengthy procedure, i am looking for the some scheme command that should do this in single step.

Thanks for your concern.

My procedure will give you a scheme command that will do it in a single step.

You probably want to see something like

(set-wall-material 'bottomwall 'plastic)

As far as I know, it is not implemented in Fluent directly (but I could be wrong, and would like to hear that!). You can define it yourself:

(define set-wall-material (lambda (wallname material) (ti-menu-load-string (format #f "//define/boundary-conditions/wall ~a ,,, ~a ,,," wallname material))))

After fixing the command above (I probably guessed the wrong number of comma's, and am likely to have some parentheses wrong), this will work.

But what would you gain by doing that?

Thanks dear for the suggestion. I got the command


(send (get-thread 2) set-var! 'material "steel")

where 2 is my thread id and steel is my material.

Okay, thank you very much for sharing your answer! Now I want to find out what the 'send' really does...
