How can I change chemical formula with text command?

Juun · June 22, 2014, 18:22

Hi everyone, I got a little problem with text command.

in my case, ammonia is added into material at the beginning, then I use below command to copy it and create a new material nh3-1 (just a random name)

/define/materials/change-create ammonia-vapor nh3-1 no no no no no no no no no no no no no

But I want to change the chemical formula to, nh3-a, for example.I done a lot search, but haven’t found anything so far. What command can I use to change this?

Thank you very much for any help

I seem to recall having trouble with this as well. Instead I made a user defined material database and read that into fluent instead.

Yes. As long as the database is in the same folder as your journal file (or working directory) it will work.
