We call those algorithms.

I know you can insert a surface parameter and find the pressure on a surface at the end of a time-dependent problem. But what I want is to find the pressure integrated over a range of times. Is there a way?

Has anyone heard if Floworks will become multithreaded? Right now you can have it run one configuration per CPU, but you cannot take one configuration and run it on multiple CPUs. Fluent can do that and Photoshop, and video editing software -- and all sorts of higher-end programs now days. With...

An obvious commie with a comment like "Please join us on the side of freedom by saying NO not just to Windows Vista and other DRM-enabled products, but to proprietary software in general." I do regret installing Vista, and I am very glad my new laptop came with XP and they only mailed me Vista...

Also, if you are doing a time-step problem and have it refine every 1 travel, will it 'go back' and recaculate the earlier physical time flow or is refinement not useful for time-stepped problems because the fluid has already moved past the areas that are being refined?

Followup -- can someone reword this in unequivocal English? "Refinement level governs the minimum computational mesh cell size, down to which the mesh cells can be split due to the mesh refinement during the calculation with respect to the initial meshs cells (see Initial Mesh). For example, if...

Yes -- I did see I could do that one at a time. Another question: I changed the XML file to .001 to get three decimals. However, it still shows a value such as 0.130 as 0.13. Why is it not showing the 3rd 0? It is significant to me as I want the machinist to know that I always care about...

I went into the XML file for ANSI, saved it as COMPANY-NAME-ANSI, and searched/replaced NUM.DIMM to in and that worked. I also searched for .01< and replaced with .001< and now it shows 3 decimals.

Just read all that. I cannot figure it out. I have an idea. How about a button with two positions. English or Metric.

Followup question. My part is in inches. I started a drawing and specified ANSI-B (11x17). My dimensions are coming up in mm. How do I change a sheet to be in inches?

Thanks, that worked.

How can the background be saved as a template so that you can use it over and over?

There is one thing that is baffling me. When I do a sketch and then exit the Sketcher and then select 'pad,' sometimes the pad does not form. The sketch disappears, and the 'pad definition' box has "NO SELECTION' under the profile-surface selection. If I go to try to reselect the sketch, it...

If you do a flow trajectory inside a tube, you can hide the tube and may want to see the trajectory in the entire region. Also, you may predict flow around a cone using just 1/4 of the area for symmetry, and then want to see the flow on 1/2 or the entire cone. I am not sure first one to feel...

Both of course. One needs to communicate the results to the people who pay for things. I would hope the answer is that it cannot mirror the results apon completion -- as that would be rather large oversight for something so trivial to implement.

In Floworks, you can save computation time by marking the domain as symmetric about a plane. Ok, fine. How do you display the results to recreate both sides of the plane? It seems like there is no setting to mirror the results for pretty charts.

I have two areas of confusion. 1. How come there are two interfaces in the program to set refinement? One is under initial-mesh, and you uncheck automatic and then can go in and set refinement levels. The other is under computation control and you can turn refinement on/off and also set...

I found it. There was a leak in the system.

When I click on a surface for an internal calculation, and set up a gas pressure -- I get an error that says 'error: face is not lying on a boundary between solid and fluid region.' I seem to have a closed system with lids, so I am very confused. Any idea what could be wrong? This is all within...

I was joking of course (I don't like to use smileys as they make it too easy).
