Hi guys,
I am normally a Fluent user, but an trying to do some quick post processing in CFD/CFX Post, and was wondering if any of the dyed in the wool CFX users could give me a quick helping hand? I want to post process some data which i have not exported from my Fluent case file, but cannot seem to get CFD Post to recognise my CEL expression. I was wondering if this was because CEL mathematical expressions are not recognised in CFD post, or perhaps my syntax is wrong? Can anyone help? the expression is basically: Code:
1.004*loge(Temperature)@X3-0.287*loge(Pressure)@X3 As you can see, basically, I am trying to check the entropy generation calculation from my solver, but for some reason the expression is not accepted in CFD Post... Any help from you CFX guys would be much appreciated, best regards Jon |

You should get a warning that "The dimensions of the argument to function
'loge' are inconsistent". Make the arguments dimensionless: Code:
loge(Temperature/1[K]) |

Thank you very much - yes, I see that now. However, I am not even getting that far ... At the moment, i am getting the following exact error message: Code:
ERROR The following unrecognised name was referenced: loge. My exact code is: Code:
1004*loge(Temperature/1[K])@X3 - 0.287*loge(Pressure/1[Pa])@X3 Thanks for your previous post - much appreciated Regards Jon |

Sorry, I didnt look carefully at your expression. 'loge' does not accept a location (@X3). But something like:
1004*loge(Temperature/1[K]) - 0.287*loge(Pressure/1[Pa]) would create an variable. Then, go to Variables, create new variable, select your expression, then plot on your surface (or whatever you want to do with the expression/variable) |

Ah thanks Lance - you're a champ - really appreciate that, have been tearing my hair out trying to figure out what i was doing wrong.
Much appreciated. BTW, best reference for CEL / CCL : CFX User Guide?? CFD-Post UG seems a little thin for detail! |

Yes, the Post guide is a bit thin about CEL, but have a look the in the CFX reference guide (cfx_ref.pdf). It has a whole chapter about CEL functions.
