Hello everybody,

I want to combine ansys fluent and classic with a batch file.

Ansys classic creates an electromagnetic field and fluent the thermal field.

So, I focus at the moment on fluent: I want to use a batchfile that opens fluent, calculates, saves a picture and closes it again:

my batch file in Fluent looks like:

for /L %%N IN (1, 1, 1) do (
fluent 3ddp -gu -wait -i input.jou
)


My input.jou file is:

rc wst.cas
solve/init/init
/solve/set/time-step 0.05
/solve/dual-time-iterate 1 1
/display set-window 2
/display contour temperature , ,
/display/views/restore-view isometric
/display/save-picture timestep-%t.tiff
wd wst.dat

confirm-overwrite yes
exit fluent exit yes

The problem is now: the timestep is always the same so the pictures are just overwritten. How can I avoid this?

Is there also another possibility to let Fluent just run timestep after timestep but with a break between, to let ansys classic calculate the new magnetic field ?


Best regards
