Default Journal file problem

Hi there,
I am trying to use journal file. I would like to compute many cases and for that I need change velocity vector in boundary settings. I am using journal recorder built in Fluent to record my script. Unfortunately first change in first case is ok but in second case nothing happens with velocity vector and window does not disappear.
Have you got any ideas? Is there any other way how to change boundary settings??



Thank you a lot.

My first question is why can you not use a text-only journal file?

Your commands are fairly simple and would only take approximately 10 minutes to write a traditional journal file to carry out the commands.

Hi thx for reply. Actually I was trying to write just text-journal file. Unfortunately I could not find any text script function for settings velocity vector in boundary con. settings.

The text commands that go into a journal file are the exact same text commands that you would input into the command window. So you just need to figure out which text commands to use. In the fluent help file there is an entire section on all the possible text commands you can use.

Pressing the return (enter) key in the command window will give a list of all available text commands you can issue (for both GUI and nonGUI modes). You can use this feature to learn which text commands and which order you need to type them in order to perform a certain task.

Here is an example of what might work for you. Depending on what models you have activated there may be more or less options.

/define/boundary-conditions/velocity-inlet velocity-inlet-32 y y n 60 n 0 y n .5 n .3 n .2 n 300 y n 1 n 1

This example corresponds to realizable-k-epsilon model with energy turned on. You can use both "yes" or "y" and "no" or "n". The slashes are also not necessary and can be replaced by spaces.

My suggestion is to type in define boundary-conditions velocity-inlet and then try to step your way through all the prompts from the text menu. Then copy your responses into your journal file.
