Hello,

Wondering if an Fluent expert can tell the TUI command for printing the calculated view factors .

By now I am using this ugly block of lines :

(cx-gui-do cx-activate-item "Ribbon*Frame1*Frame6(Results)*Table1*PushButton1(Model Specific)")
(cx-gui-do cx-activate-item "Ribbon*Frame1*Frame6(Results)*Table1*Table3(Model Specific)*PushButton6(S2S Information)")
(cx-gui-do cx-activate-item "S2S Information*List2(From)")
(cx-gui-do cx-set-list-selections "S2S Information*List2(From)" '( 0 1))
(cx-gui-do cx-activate-item "S2S Information*List2(From)")
(cx-gui-do cx-activate-item "S2S Information*List7(To)")
(cx-gui-do cx-set-list-selections "S2S Information*List7(To)" '( 0 1))
(cx-gui-do cx-activate-item "S2S Information*List7(To)")
(cx-gui-do cx-activate-item "S2S Information*PanelButtons*PushButton1(OK)")
(cx-gui-do cx-activate-item "S2S Information*PanelButtons*PushButton2(Cancel)")

At present, there is no direct TUI command in Ansys Fluent that allows users to list or print Surface-to-Surface (S2S) radiation view factors between selected “from” and “to” surfaces in the same manner as the S2S Information panel in the graphical interface. This functionality is currently available only through the GUI under Results → Model Specific → S2S Information, where the wall zones are selected in the From and To lists and the view factors are computed and printed to the console.

The only related TUI functionality is the ability to compute and write the view factors to a file using the command:

/define/models/radiation/s2s-parameters/compute-write-vf "file_name.s2s.h5"

The generated file can later be read using:

/file/read-viewfactors "file_name.s2s.h5"

However, these commands only allow computation and storage of the view-factor data. They do not provide a way to query or print individual view factors between specific surface pairs through the TUI.
