Hello,

I have a batch script that I want to run multiple journal files with. The batch script is in say folder A. I have subfolders A-1 A-2 and so on, each containing their own journal file. However, when I run fluent, I'm using something like this:

fluent 3ddp t16 -i journal.jou
wait
(run next journal here)

The thing is, the journals are in subfolders. How do I define a file path for the journal files? I tried doing something like /A-1/journal.jou but fluent won't accept it.

Thanks!

Unfortunately you cannot have journal files call other journal files. You maybe able to find a workaround with Python or something.

I wasn't referencing the journal file from another, I meant the batch file runs through one journal file, exits, then launches another. I have managed to get the journal to open using

fluent 3ddp -t28 -mpi=intel -i %CD%\A-1\journal.jou -wait

however the journal fails, which doesn't make sense, since it works if I launch fluent normally. It shows the commands being entered in the command window but no action is actually taken. Fluent then crashes, here is the log:

Do you know why this could happen? Everywhere online talks about bad UDF definition, I'm not using any UDFs.

Sorry I misunderstood what you were attempting to do. Can you please copy the error code into your reply. I and others here cannot download random links for security reasons.



Are the commands in the journal file referencing the gui or are they all tui commands?


Since you close fluent each time, I think what you need is a good old DOS batch file. Basically I would move into each directory before opening fluent so that everything is together in the same working directory. I am a bit rusty on those.
