Hello all,

I'm starting to use TUI commands more in Fluent now, since moving my work on to a HPC. I'm currently struggling to use TUI to define cell zone conditions.

More specifically, I need to define mesh motion, using an (interpreted) UDF that I wrote and can confirm is working. I'm doing a sliding mesh simulation.

I had a look at the Text Commands List on Google and in the manual, and haven't seen much that would help.

Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

ALL GOOD

Its under boundary conditions > fluid menu

Got the idea from this thread

* Note:
cell zone id/name: 2
cell zone type: fluid ( namely volume)
rotational speed, -10 rad/s
rotatoinal axis: + z

* TUI commands
/define/boundary-conditions/fluid 2 no no no yes -1 no -10 no 0 no 0 no 0 no 0 no 0 no 0 no 0 no 0 no 1 none no no no no no

* interactive console commands
