I think this question must have been already addressed before, but the search on the forum did not result anything , os here it goes again.

Is there a way to automatically save results to a file after certain number of iterations? I want the results to be stored in a file after a fixed interval. Moreover i also want the contour plots to be saved as images, is it possible to automate this.

Thanks a lot.

File-Write-Data, you can save the document. Put the mouse on the plot, press right button, choose "Copy to Clipboard".

Thanks. I am beginner on fluent and learning thing slowly. Is there a way to also save contours as images along with the autosaving of data file? If there isny any straight way, can a separate program do this? Greetings.

HI

You can auto save case and data every ?? timesteps/iterations. To get images it's the easyest to go to solve-animation-define.... After finished calculation you can store the images as mpeg, tiff, eps, jpg....

regards MATEUS

Read-Case&Data, then Display-Contours.

This doesnt automate the things. I will have to do this manually,Read Case >Data for all the files, and then save images. On the other hand i was looking for a way to automate this stuff. A program which can read these data files and output images.

Thanks

Hi

you can make use of journal file first you record your actions into that file and then run it Record is quite straightforward
:file>write>star journal do what you want the journal to do
:file>write>stop journal after this sequence look at the journal file if you need (as you need) edit it

to run the journal
:file>read>journal

I hope it helps a bit
