change outlet to inlet periodically

erfan2000 · October 20, 2021, 07:05

Hello
I have a problem with Ansys fluent, I have a pipe and I want to change the flow direction periodically in every 400s, in other words, I want to change the inlet to outlet after 400s and assign its last conditions to the former outlet for the next 400s and change condition to the first after that and repeat this procedure.
thanks

1) Are you familiar with changing these settings using the GUI manually? Do it at least once
2) Learn how to do these using the text commands that you input into the TUI
3) make a journal or use execute commands to run the script you generated from 2)

Also, a forewarning. The first time you 1) I predict it will blow up in your face.
