Defining mass flow rate as an input parameter in Fluent

adnunes · July 16, 2020, 21:03

Greetings,

I have a simulation with a transactional periodic boundary, and I want to vary the mass flow rate to test different cases. I'm able to define regular inputs and output as parameters, as well as variables used in a UDF I'm employing. However, I can't seem to find how to do this for the values in the Periodic Conditions tab (where the mass flow rate is located and defined). Any help in how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

whats your work flow, how do yu apply value for mass flow?

is it correct, that you are using parameter value from workbench? Or you are using UDF boundary condition?
