Question about starting the simulation automatically one after another by Fluent
 
Hi,

I have several cases to run by Fluent-solver during the night. But I have only one Fluent license. So I'd like to let the next case simulation started automatically after the previous one finished. In this way I won't need to always get up to start the simulation manually. May I ask how to set that?

By the way, since each of the simulation need to be started from different specific initial solution, workbench may not be good at doing this.

A shell script (*nix) or batch file (win*) would do your job. The file contains a series of command like
fluent 2ddp -g -i your_journal_file_name.jou > your_log_file 2>&1

You may need to set the proper environment for running fluent at the beginning of your script/batch file.
