Use CCL file to add subdomain without overwriting existing setup

honcho62 · May 10, 2016, 11:22

Hi everyone,

I have a script that automates some of the setup in CFX-Pre and I'd like to expand it. It's basically a matlab script that generates a CCL file that you can load in CFX-Pre.

I want to add a subdomain with certain pre-sets. In this case boundary conditions and the domain are already pre-defined, this way you could apply it to general case. I have added all the info necessary for the subdomain to the CCL but when I load it in CFX-Pre it overwrites the pre-defined boundary conditions and domain info, because they're not in the CCL file.

So I can either add all that info, which defeats the purpose, or find a way to add this subdomain without overwriting the pre-defined boundary conditions and such. Is this possible?

Thanks

Have you tried to skip the &replace command in the ccl

Code:

FLOW: Flow Analysis 1
  &replace DOMAIN: Fluid
    Coord Frame = Coord 0
    Domain Type = Fluid
    Location = Assembly
...

I don't have the &replace in there it's just plain.

NVM: I didn't notice the Import Method options when you open a CCL file

Are you appending or replacing the additional CCL to the existing CCL ?

If you use the user interface, and import the CCL there is an "Import Method" setting you must select (defaults to Replace). If you use a session file, you must look at the import command and select the Import Method to either replace, or append your "CCL fragment"

Hope the above helps,
