Dear CFX users,

I have two questions about CFX-Build-s journal files:

Is it possible: 1.to define a variable in CFX-Build journal file. Something like (in perl):

...

$MyVar=100;

cfx5_set_fluiddep_bc_prop( "MyInlet", "Air Ideal Gas", "Turbulence", @ "Intensity and Length Scale", [["Turbulent Intensity", "VALUE", "0.03", @ ""]["Eddy Length Scale", "VALUE", $My_Var , "mm"]], cfx5_create_fb_new_istat)

...

2.Loading journal files from another one e.g.

…

«load first.jou journal file»

cfx5_set_fluiddep_bc_prop( "MyInlet", "Air Ideal Gas", "Turbulence", @ "Intensity and Length Scale", [["Turbulent Intensity", "VALUE", "0.03", @ ""]["Eddy Length Scale", "VALUE", "100", "mm"]], cfx5_create_fb_new_istat)

«load second.jou journal file»

…

Thanks in advice.

Regards,

Yes, but in patran! And it is fairly straightforward. Check on Patran web site (the "little house" icon) or ask your support. Alternatively this is taught during CFX training. So check the notes about Build or ask your CFX support.

The interest in this is that you can write you perl to set the value in the session file, eg.

REAL x = value

'value' being used later on as a real.

To loop automatically on various scenarii, or carry out an optimization loop using Post outputs.

Thanks Holidays,

Yas it is possible with PCL. I find one post from August about this subject where Robin explain the same thing.

Thanks,
