I have one of these two parameters to vary from one calculation to another : the static distance between the 2 plates and the moving signal (amplitude, frequency). <strong>I&#8217;m wondering which method i have to use between the journal files and the design point.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have seen that using a motion profile requires me to create a case file for each combination that i want to investigate before defining the journal files. Since I have more than 100 combinations = 100+ cases files to generate, I want to avoid the use of the journal files if possible. <strong>Does the motion User-Defined Function enable the use of the design point instead of the journal files? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also investigating the use of expression at the boundary condition to define the motion of the plate. <strong>Does it possible to define the plate movement using fluent expressions and avoid motion udf\/profil? If yes, does it allow to use a design points to change the amplitude, frequency from one calculation to another? Do you have any idea of how i can simplify this automation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>p.s.: I have already run my model with a motion profile.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance for your insights!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-245403","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-design-point-1","topic-tag-expressions","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-journal-file","topic-tag-profile","topic-tag-udf"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["237303","22555"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.74.191"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2070"],"_edit_lock":["1672782165:158975"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["245403"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["22555","237303"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["33"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["250608"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["250608"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-02-20 13:50:27"]},"test":"loic-macaire-sidjou-nzali-1ens-etsmtl-ca"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/245403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/245403\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
