Reply To: Journal file for meshing and solving batch mode

[abhishek.roy]

To launch WB use $AWP_ROOT232/Framework/bin/Linux64/runwb2 then load the project file.

Journal file will not work with WB. You can use RSM for that. Refer to the link below for details

Working with Ansys Remote Solve Manager

If you want to use a journal file you can save the geometry file in PMDB format and launch fluent directly and use the journal file. You create a journal file to mesh the geometry and then do the simulation.

To execute journal file in batch mode
[usual fluent starting command] -i journal_file.jou &

For example:

fluent 3ddp -t4 -i example.jou -g >> transcript.out

This command will run Fluent in 3d double precision (dp), in parallel on 4 procs (-t4) using the example.jou journal file (-i), in batch (-g) and save the output to the transcript.out file (>>).
