Batch launch of a CFD simulation

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I am new to Autodesk CFD and I need to run a CFD simulation using a batch file.

Is there a command able to do this?

The O.S. is Windows.

Thank you all!

Hello Novella,

You can setup all the designs and scenarios you want to analyze then use the Solver Manager inside CFD to run all the analyses.

You can exit the CFD user interface once you set the runs to go out and solve.  When you open CFD again you can look at the results.

I hope this helps.

Hello Marwan,

thank you for the reply, but what I would like to do is to set everything in the GUI. Then close and launch the run using the cmd prompt or a batch file, completely out of Autodesk CFD.

I was imagining something like " C:\Programs\...\CFD.exe mymodel.cfdst .

Have you tried something like this?

Thank you

Hello Novella,

I know what you are saying but I have not tried this.

CFD.exe is the user interface.

The solver is actually CFDSolver.exe but that gets called by the Simulation Job Manager.

There might be a way to do what you want using a Python script but I don't know how.  Maybe someone with good Python knowledge can chime in.

Why does setting it up through the Solver Manager as described above then exiting CFD not work for you?

Hello Marwan,

the Solver manager does not work for me since I would like to try to insert the CFD run inside an optimizer. Every run will be made with a different set of geometrical parameters and everything must be automatic. This is why I tought of a batch file with the launching command.

Hope someone with Python knowledge could help!
