We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

  3. I am running a parametric simulation in which a new zone gets created by Fluent to accomodate the non-equilibrium porous model. I have some scripting in a journal file that applies to the new solid zone from the Solution cell, but my design points keep failing because the new zone name/numbering changes with each pass through Fluent. How can I ensure consistent zone naming in Fluent so that my journal file always works?

      To keep the name of the new solid zone consistent, you can rename it right after it is created: mesh modify-zones zone-name oldname newname Do this before any other reference to the solid zone name.
