Hi guys,

I would like to know just taking a look to your journal files if is possible define a variable time step in the journal file. Something like:

100 iterations with x time-step

1000 iterations with y time-step

Thanks :)

Hi again,

I managed to do it with a simple UDF.

Hi
I am trying to do something similar but i need to select a surface at which the contours will be displayed.

using

display/set/contours/surfaces/plane-xyz

It selects the plane but then returns

contour surface id/name(2) [()]

to select another surface, and this keeps on repeating with (3) (4) etc i want it to return to "/display" after it has selected the one surface i want.

Any ideas on how to skip selecting more surfaces

Thanks

OK i sorted this out, have to write () in the command as well at the end.

Next problem; error file saying no graphics functions available.

I would think that is the actual case as well, but how did all of you guys end up getting a graphics (png jpg) file running the cluster which uses TUI.

Am i missing something here.

Hi Hwet,

What was your startup setup and your grapics or gui options?

Have a look at the picture below :)

Well, apparently the cluster at my university does not have a graphics card and hence no graphics driver, thats why this couldn't be done.

I wonder if there is another way?

yeah, that's a very good example of scripting. But can you tell me how to scripting an animation for a particular surface?

hello, have you solved the issue before, I met the same issue now, I wanna output the animation through hpc , but the journal file maybe incorrect, can you support me ? My partly journal file is below



/solve/animate/objects/create no-animation animate-on contour-1 frequency-of time-step storage-type jpeg storage-dir ""

/solve/dual-time-iterate 2 3
