I recently tried to do fluent calculations on cluster and after uploading the .cas file I need to add velocity output and animation using the command line. But I don't know how to achieve these actions, can I output the settings I made in fluent into command line?

I checked the command user manual, which only has a general tutorial like  /solve/report-definitions/add , and I still can't output the data I want.

I tried the journal file before, but it seems to record all my mouse actions, so I can't get a complete command.

Adding graphical output into Fluent via the TUI is straightforward but setting the display surfaces, camera angle etc is much less so. If you set up the model on a local machine with graphics can you create all of the contours/scenes etc and then the animations there? 

For graphics you want /display  and /solve/execute-commands to then trigger the display. Note, if the model is run without graphics outputting images gets "interesting" as there isn't anything to display to.

Selecting the "Print to Console", "Report file" and "Report plots" Option for Report Definitions:

While defining report definitions, such as the lift coefficient, I am interested in learning how to choose the option to print the results directly to the console using the Python console. This capability would greatly assist in real-time monitoring and analysis during simulations. If anyone could provide insights, code snippets, or documentation references on implementing this feature, it would be immensely valuable.

When I try to run create the simulation using the python console window, these options are being deselected automatically and facing an option to select this. Does anyone know how to activate these options?
