Chapter 22: continuous-fiber/

All of the features for the continuous fiber module that are available through the graphical user interface are also available through text user interface (TUI) commands. The TUI allows text commands to be typed directly in the Ansys Fluent console window where additional information can be extracted and processed for more advanced analysis.

Once the fiber module is loaded, you can access the text user interface through the Console Window by pressing return in the console (assuming that you are at the top level menu, that is, not in any other menu such as define/). A listing of the various text commands is as follows:

continuous-fiber/

Enter the continuous-fiber menu.

continuous-fiber/define/

continuous-fiber/define/injection
