Dear sirs
Can any one help me in defining an on/off mass flow rate for a "mass flow inlet" boundary? Please. Need to allow a mass flow rate example to pause (or off) every x seconds and then flow (or on) every x seconds. A simple solution please. Thanks |

Hi,
I think it can be done with udf; read udf manual, section DEFINE_PROFILE; write a mass flow function of time using if sentences, for example if time >0 && time <5 than mass flow rate =10; elseif time >=5 && time <10 than mass flow rate =0; else mass flow rate=10 Or if you cannot write the udf you can simply stop the simulation and manually change mass flow rate values Daniele |
