Hello everyone,

I am trying to do some zone patching using TUI for batch simulations. Using the Ansys Text Command List, I still don't get what the argument to be passed are supposed to be.

I have a cell register named 'sat_25' where I want to set the Volume Fraction of my 2ndary phase called 'Air' to 0. Can someone please let me know what the command to be used would be? Also, how do you pass cell register names to Fluent?

Thank you in advance,
Tudor

When working with the interactive TUI, the best advice I can give is to spam the enter/return key. Fluent will give you prompts that you can then answer.

For example, type solve, press enter. Type patch, press enter. Continue...

Fluent will the prompt you for a Domain. you will enter mixture or phase-2 or some other relevant phase information. Then it will prompt you for the cell zone id/name.Then it will prompt you for the register id/name. You may enter the id or the literal name. The id is most often 0 because 99% of cases, you have only one cell zone or register. If you have multiple, then read what is the id from the cell zone manager. The null argument is a set of curly brackets (). You also terminate a list with ().

If you want to patch a single cell register which has id 0 and name sat_25, your command will therefore look something like
/solve/patch phase-2 () 0 ()
/solve/patch phase-2 () (0)
or
/solve/patch phase-2 () sat_25 ()

The next prompt will ask what variable you want to patch, and you choose enter the volume fraction and continue the sequence.

Thanks a lot, that worked perfectly! Saved a lot of time
