I would like Fluent to write a profile file for the temperature on the wall at the end of every time step. I am using the execute commands option to try and write the profile every timestep. The command I am using for write profile is as follows: //file/write-profile filename.prof surface_name and then I have blank commands entered in the execute commands dialog box to skip naming additional surface names and then a command that just says what variable I want to write a profile for (temperature). The problem I run into is that I want to index the filename every timestep so it is easy to keep track off. For this, I have tried the ti-menu-load-string(format #f "file~01d.prof" delta-time") command instead of the "filename.prof" as earlier mentioned. But that doesn't update the variable as it should. Any recommendations on how I should get it to update the filename every timestep? Thanks.

I don't think that should make a difference because I am using delta-time to read in a profile file at every time step. I have also defined the delta-time variable and after every time-step, it adds 1 to the previous value using this: (define delta-time (+ 1 delta-time)).

Hi AkulKarni,
has this problem been solved? Recently, I am also troubled by this problem. Would you please show the correct TUI command?
Also I need auto-read profile function, is it also possible via TUI command?
Thanks.
