How to create string-name with variable

schwaral · October 27, 2020, 21:45

Hi all,
I have the following problem.

I want to write the interpolate-data (.ip) after every timestep. So I wanted to do this by using excecute-command and calling a journal file. However fluent automatically overwrites the old .ip file. So is there any possibility to include for example the simulation time in the string of the name?

I want something like this:

(define MYFILENAME (rpgetvar 'flow-time))
(ti-menu-load-string "file/interpolate/write-data MYFILENAME yes yes ")

Or is this simply not possible? Maybe you have a better solution. I am not an expert in scheme... totally the opposite unfortunately.

you may try something like this:

Code:

(ti-menu-load-string (format #f "file/interpolate/write-data my_case_~a yes yes \n" (rpgetvar 'flow-time)))
