What does RP in “RP variable” stand for?

      In Fluent, there are two major kinds of variables when controlling Fluent by means of a Scheme script: the RP and the CX variables.

      I have read somewhere that CX stands for Cortex, which is Fluents main process controlling all other processes (host and nodes).

      However, I haven't found any interpretation so far what the RP may stand for.

       

      Does anyone have any thoughts or insights?

      Really Pretty?   I suspect it's Root Process or Root Partition (ie Host) but could easily be something slightly silly from the "old days" of computer programming. They're used to directly set something deep inside Fluent: we don't routinely give these out. 

      There's a BeeGees macro in the code for the Discrete Ordinates model somewhere: DiscO model.

      RP refers to Rampant: one of predecessors of  Ansys Fluent.
