Note: These functions are available in CFX-Pre and CFX-Solver without restrictions, and in CFD-Post with the restriction that you cannot use short names.
If the function is fluid-specific, various behaviors are possible depending on the function type:
For
massFlow
andmassFlowAve
, if the phase name is not specified for the function, then the bulk mass flows will be used. See cases 1 to 7 in the table below.For other fluid-specific functions:
if a fluid-specific operand is specified and no fluid is specified for the function, then the fluid specified for the operand will be assumed for the function as well. See case 8 in the table below.
if the function is specified and no fluid is specified for the operand, then the fluid specified for the function will be assumed for the operand as well. See cases 7 and 9 in the table below.
If both the function or operand are fluid-specific, and a phase name is not given for either, the solver will stop with an error. See case 10 in the table below.
