KR34: How do I control batch runs in FLUENT, i.e., interrupt them, or obtain intermediate case and data files without terminating them?


The owner of the FLUENT process(es) can create a "kill-file" called

/tmp/exit-fluent

Upon completion of the NEXT iteration, FLUENT will write a data file and exit. Please note that FLUENT must be in the iteration loop for this to work. The filename will have as its root, the same name as the original input file, and will also have appended the current iteration number. If you prefer that FLUENT does not exit but instead continues to iterate after writing the data file, then create a kill-file called

/tmp/check-fluent

The case file will also be written. If you do not want the case written, set this
RP var before iterating:

(rpsetvar 'checkpoint/write-case? #f)

By default, it is set to #t in FLUENT.

Use the Unix command "touch filename" to create the desired kill file.

For additional details on the procedure, please contact your support engineer.
