26.9. Multiphase Case Check

You can check the multiphase case setup using the multiphase check function available via the text user interface (TUI) command:

/report/mphase-summary

This function prints for you a summary of useful settings, important model information, and recommendations for choosing case parameters. Your case will be checked for compliance in the following categories:

  • MODELING

  • MESHING

  • PHASES

  • PHASE INTERACTION

  • BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

  • CELL ZONE CONDITIONS

  • OPERATING CONDITIONS

  • SOLVER METHODS/CONTROLS

  • ADVANCED SOLVER NUMERICS

  • MULTIPHASE NUMERICS

  • SOLUTION LIMITS

  • MONITORS/RESIDUALS

  • INITIALIZATION

  • RUN CALCULATION

  • POST PROCESSING

Important:  To execute this command, a case and valid data (solution or initialization) are required. If the case has been modified, you need to either reinitialize or rerun the case.

When prompted for verbosity, you can set the level of detail for the report. A value of 0 (the default) corresponds to a basic report, while a value of 1 corresponds to a more detailed report.

In each category, established rules and built-in best practices will be available, along with recommended changes to your current settings. At your discretion, you may choose to apply the recommendations, or keep your current settings. Refer to the appropriate sections in the Fluent User's Guide for more information about the recommended changes.

For VOF cases, you can generate a summary report for the case setup using the VOF Check button that appears in the Solution Initialization task page after you initialize your case. The action of this button is similar to the report/mphase-summary text command with the verbosity set to 0.
