COPY NOT ALLOWING ON BOUNDARY_CONDITIONS?

[govindiitd]

Hi,

I am starting to experience pyfluent with "cavitation" example. I get the following error message for 
solver.setup.boundary_conditions.copy(from_="inlet_1", to="inlet_2"),

AttributeError: "copy" is not an allowed Settings objects name.

Regards,
Govind

@govindiitd Could you share the following information?

• Which version(s) of ANSYS Fluent do you have installed?
• Which version of PyFluent do you have installed and how did you install it? (i.e. using pip install or by cloning from GitHub?)
• How are you running the example? Are you running it as a script or as a Jupyter Notebook?

Hi, -> Ansys version Fluent: 2023R1 -> pyFluent Version: ansys-fluent-core 0.18.2, and installed using pip -> I am running it as a jupyter-notebook Regards, Govind

Hi Govind,

Calling solver.setup.boundary_conditions.command_names or solver.setup.boundary_conditions.get_active_command_names() shows that the solver.setup.boundary_conditions.copy() PyFluent settings API method is not available in 23R1. If you are not able to upgrade to 23R2, you could replace the settings API calls with the equivalent TUI command.

For example, to copy a boundary condition, you can run the TUI command define/boundary-conditions/copy-bc inlet_1 inlet_2 (). This can be called through PyFluent by solver.tui.define.boundary_conditions.copy_bc("inlet_1", "inlet_2", ()).

Thanks,
Jess

Hi, Thanks, letting me know about this. It works fine for me and I am able to manage some other stuff as well. Other thing: "solver.results.graphics.contour["contour_vf_vapor"].display()" not displaying any image in notebook. What should I do? Regards, Govind

Calling the .display() method on a contour object will display it in the Fluent GUI (it would be visible if you launched Fluent with the argument show_gui=True), not in the notebook.

To post-process in the notebook, I would suggest looking into PyFluent Visualization:
