I am running a parametric simulation in which a new zone gets created by Ansys Fluent to accomodate the non-equilibrium porous model. I have some scripting in a journal file that applies to the new solid zone from the Solution cell, but my design points keep failing because the new zone name/numbering changes with each pass through Ansys Fluent. How can I ensure consistent zone naming in Ansys Fluent so that my journal file always works?
To keep the name of the new solid zone consistent, you can rename it right after it is created:
mesh modify-zones zone-name oldname newname
Do this before any other reference to the solid zone name.
