Changing default values

February 6, 2008, 15:39

I was wondering if there is a way of changing the default values for CFX on a couple of things. For instance, the default domain - reference pressure defaults to 101325 Pa. I would like to default several things like that differently. Any one know how to do that?

Dear dcwnj

If you do not mind messing around with the installation, you can modify the [install_directory]/etc/RULES file.

Search for

PARAMETER: Reference Pressure

and change the default value from 1 [atm] to whatever you want.

Not all the default values are in that file. Some are in the [install_directory]/etc/CFXPrePhysics.ccl file as well.

As usual, before modifying original files you must back them up in case you something goes awfully wrong.

Opaque.
