Hello, I am trying to follow the approach 1 of the document entitled "Setting Up the Periodic Pressure Drop as an Output Parameter". The first window is Ok :

but Fluent does not create automatically the report definition, as it should do according to the document : 

It is therefore not possible to follow the proess.

Thanks for your help.

Which document is that?

Did you use a periodic pair defined from the mesh or the non-conformal approach? 

[Rob]

And have you run the model & displayed the "periodic static pressure" on the boundary?

[Jan-Patrice SIMONEAU]

We use a non-conformal approach, ran the model and dispayed the periodic static pressure.

I wonder if the report is linked to the conformal option. On older cases the periodic was a single boundary so getting a "pressure" on both ends wasn't possible whereas the nonconformal option has an interface at each end. 

It worked on a test case here, but the report only triggered after running the model. Good spot, and it'll give the solution author something to do for a day or two! :)

ok thanks,
