Hi all,

I am writing a script using TUI commands to run Fluent in batch mode, and am looking for a way to save the actual value of a report to a variable in the script. I want the value of a mass flow rate report so that I can perform some logic based off of the value, so I want to write something like this:

(define mass_flow_rate 0)

; initialize and solve

(set! mass_flow_rate (report/surface-integrals/mass-flow-rate outlet , ,))

but the command:

report/surface-integrals/mass-flow-rate outlet , ,

only prints the value to the console, so the above doesn't work to get the value. Is there a simple way to access the value of the report to save to the variable?

I have also tried creating an expression, but I ran into the same issue and can't figure out how to access an expression's value either. Similarly, I can also export both the report and expression to an output text file, but can't figure out if there's a way to load that value from the file into a variable either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Kyle

Hi,

You can write the value to a file using TUI command:

/report/surface-integrals> area

(inlet)

Surface Id :(1) ["inlet"]

Surface Id :(2) [()]

Write to file? [no] yes

filename (*.srp) [""] test

Hi, thank you for the response!

I am able to write the value to a file, but I'm looking to save the value of the report to a variable that I have defined in the script so I can perform some logic based off of the value. Do you know if there is a way to do that?

Thanks,

Kyle
