Hi all,

I am writing a script using TUI commands to run Fluent in batch mode, and am looking for a way to save the actual value of a report to a variable in the script. I want the value of a mass flow rate report, so I want to write something like this:

(define mass_flow_rate 0)

; initialize and solve

(set! mass_flow_rate (report/surface-integrals/mass-flow-rate outlet , ,))

but the command:

report/surface-integrals/mass-flow-rate outlet , ,

only prints the value to the console, so the above doesn't work to get the value. Is there a simple way to access the value of the report to save to the variable?

I have also tried creating an expression, but I can't figure out how to access an expression's value either. I can save the expression to a text file, but still can't figure out how to load that into a variable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
