11.3. Play Session Command

Selecting Session > Play Session opens the Play Session File dialog box in which you can select the session file to play. The commands listed in the selected session file are then executed.


Important:  Existing objects with the same name as objects defined in the session file are replaced by those in the session file (for example, if Plane 1 exists in this CFD-Post session file, playing the session file will overwrite any existing object with the name Plane 1).


To play a session file:

  1. From the menu bar, select Session > Play Session.

  2. In the Play Session File dialog box, browse to the directory containing the session file and select the file you want to play.

  3. Click Open to play the session file. The commands listed in the selected session file are executed. Existing objects with the same name as objects defined in the session file are replaced by those in the session file.


Note:  You can play session files in stand-alone CFD-Post, but not in CFD-Post in Ansys Workbench.



Note:  While recording a session file, any preference changes made using the Options dialog box (Edit > Options) are recorded. However, after playing back the session file, the preference changes generally affect the current session only and are not reflected in the Options dialog box.
