Hello,

I'd like to do for loop over dozens of faces in order to specify heat flux profile on each of them. This heat flux profile has different mean value for each face.

How should I do for loop over DEFINE_PROFILE?

for ( i = 1 ; i<=30 ; i++)
{
DEFINE_PROFILE(hf_profile_i, ft, var) - I don't know how to treat hf_profile_i that index "i" will be recognized in loop
{
float x[3];
float z;
face_t f;
float q0 = q[i];

begin_f_loop(f,ft)
{
F_CENTROID(x,f,ft);
z = x[2];
F_PROFILE(f,ft,var)= q0*sin(((z/0.02)*M_PI);
}
end_f_loop(f,ft)
}
}

Later in journal file I will do loop and prescribe heat flux profiles to adequate faces.

Thanks you for any help.

It is not clear to me what you are trying to do here.

Do you want to have 30 different profiles for heat fluxes? Or do you want one profile that covers 30 different faces? Please explain what your variable i indexes.

I'd like to have both. It means 30 different profiles of heat flux on 30 different faces. Indexes starts from 4 to 33.

It is still unclear what you want.

Do you want 900 different things? (900 = 30 x 30)
Or you do you want one profile that gives 30 faces each a different value?

[lukasz0004]

I'd like to have one profile that gives different value on each face. For every profile q0 is unique (this is mean heat flux value). q[i] is defined as a matrix with mean values that corresponds to given face

If you would like to have one profile, then just define one profile.
There is absolutely no need to loop over anything.

Maybe you did not fully understand what a profile is, check it in the help.
