  Hi everyone, I would like to run the first 100 or so simulations in steady case and the rest in Unsteady simulations changing just the schemes and discretization methods. Is there a simple way to automate this simulation using Fluent or Workbench?nI saw online regarding Journal files and Schemes but I am not able to get started. Could anyone point me to some references for beginners. Thank you.nP.S. I would later also like to be able to automate change in boundary conditions as well but first I need to start from the basics and simple parts. Thank you.n

  Thank you for the links but I am unable to enter the Customer Portal. I have a Ansys Paid License in my lab but no one has much idea about it since it has been gifted to the University by some company. I have asked around but no one has much idea about it. I am the only one in my lab who uses Ansys. I can send all the details of the license as required but is there anyway I could get into the portal? n

  You'll need to register for the Portal, and the option is just under the login part. However, if you click on Help in the software it'll bypass the password section and let you into the documentation (not the wider Portal site). n

  For anyone who is having the same problem as I have, i.e., not being able to access the URL (shows Customer Portal Login). You can access these links by:nFirst open the help section of Ansys through the software ( ? button on the upper-right side of the Fluent Solver User Interface: This opens help in a browser)nCopy the link you want to access (In my case; the link forwarded by )nPast it in browser URL (new tab) where the help documentation had been opened.nYou can access these links. Just in case this helps someone.n
