save time history of spanwise force distribution on Windows OS

Method use UDF to strip the interest surface(where force is applied) Steps    - open case file, check the *ID* of  solid sourface ( cylinder/blade surface) - check the spanwise direction(such as z direction), and force direction( such lift, y axis, drag, x axis)  - Make the appropriate changes in the UDF    +(Axis direction, Force direction, no. of strips and ID of the wall zone) - lauch Fluent from command line   + Open the Start screen (press Windows button on your keyboard, Type 'VS2013 x86 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt'   + Navigate to your working folder, i.e. the folder where your case and data files are (.cas & .dat).   + Type “fluent” in the command window to launch Fluent  or  “C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v161\fluent\ntbin\win64\fluent.exe” (quotation signs included, in case of standard installation; fluent version: 16.1).   + Make sure that on the *Environment tab* 'Setup Compilation Environment for UDF' is...

Error log-Parallel UDF

What should I do when hwloc reports "operatingsystem" warnings ? When the operating system reports invalid locality information (because of either software or hardware bugs), hwloc may fail to insert some objects in the topology because they cannot fit in the already built tree of resources. If so, hwloc will report a warning like the following. The object causing this error is ignored, the discovery continues but the resulting topology will miss some objects and may be asymmetric (see also What happens if my topology is asymmetric? ). **************************************************************************** * hwloc has encountered what looks like an error from the operating system. * * L3 (cpuset 0x000003f0) intersects with NUMANode (P#0 cpuset 0x0000003f) without inclusion! * Error occurred in topology.c line 940 * * Please report this error message to the hwloc user's mailing list, * along with the output from the hwloc-gather-topology script. *********...

File types in ICEM CFD

Project Settings (*.prj) An ICEM CFD project file contains the information necessary to manage the data files associated with your project. Tetin (*.tin) Contains geometry entities, material points, parts associations, and global and entity mesh sizes. Mesh (*.uns) Includes details of the line, shell, and volume mesh elements of the project. Shell meshes are composed of triangular and/or quadrilateral elements; volume meshes may include tetrahedra, hexahedra, pyramids, and/or prisms. Blocking (*.blk) Includes details of the underlying framework used to create a structured hexahedral mesh in your project. Blocking files can also be loaded from, or saved to, an unstructured mesh. Attributes (*.atr) or (*.fbc) Maintain the association of user-specified data for parts, element properties, loads, and constraints with the nodes/elements of the mesh for a project. Parameters (*.par) Contains mesh-independent data such as material properties, local coordinate systems, solver analysis setup, an...
