command to save data file every #time step in a batch script

IBC · July 6, 2022, 09:42

Hi,

I'm running a batch simulation and need to save the cdat or dat file every # time step. I wrote the following commands but didn't work. Does anyone know what might be the error?

file/read-case FullyOpen_covedcorner_0.03m_real.cas
solve/initialize/initialize-flow
solve/set/time-step 0.01
solve/dual-time-iterate 30000 20
file/auto-save/save-data-file-every 6000
file/write-case-data FOFOFOFO_transientfive_real_result.cas
file/confirm-overwrite yes
exit
yes

Thanks!

You can use auto-execute commands. For instance, in your journal file you can add:

solve/execute-commands/add-edit command-1 6000 "time-step" "file/write-data FOFOFOFO_transientfive_real_result_%t.dat"

If your simulation is steady, you can replace %t (time step appended) for %i (which stands for iteration number)

I tried this and it didn't work.

file/read-case-data FullyOpen_SS_Tran_0.020m.cas
solve/iterate 1
solve/set/time-step 0.01
solve/dual-time-iterate 30000 20
file/auto-save/data-frequency 6000
file/write-data SSTran_%t_result.dat
file/write-case 020m_SS_Tran_result.cas
file/confirm-overwrite yes
exit
yes

Please open a fresh session in interactive mode, try typing the commands one by one and debug. Some of your commands are a bit redundant.

I'm trying to run this simulation using a batch script.
I'm not using a journal file, I am creating a run script.
