FLUENT animation from TUI Journal File

smartsoldier · February 6, 2015, 11:51

I have a transient simulation and I would like to create an animation of vorticity per time step. Using the gui I can easily set up the parameters under "Solution Animations" and then once it is finished I can write to an mpeg. However, I am now running in batch mode on a CPU cluster and need to use the journal file and TUI commands to get the job done. Does anyone have experience with this?

I always do animations by writing single images from dat files with TUI commands in a journal file using a loop. Then I create a video file from the images with matlab.

Hi,

Maybe it's too late but you can use the following command :

solve/animate/define/define-monitor and set the parameters you want.

It will do the same as what you know in the GUI.
