KR50: How can I save my user-defined material properties or custom materials defined in one FLUENT calculation and re-use them in other calculations?


After specifying your user-defined material properties and/or custom materials within FLUENT, write out a Boundary Conditions file by using the following text interface (TUI) command:

/file/write-bc

This file will also contain the material properties that you defined earlier.

Edit this file and delete every line except the following:

Keep the first and last lines in the file

Keep the line containing the material property definition. This line will look something like:

(materials ((water-xxx fluid (chemical-formula . #f) ....

To re-use this file in a different FLUENT calculation, simply read it into FLUENT by using the following text interface command:

/file/read-bc
