19.1. User Variables - Add/Modify

This window lets you add a new user variable or modify the selected user variable.

Select user variable

You can define up to 20 user variables. Use this pull-down menu to select the user variable you want to define or modify.

Activate

Check this box to activate (define) the selected user variable.

User variable name

Enter the name you want to use for your user variable.

Restart

Check this box if you want the user variable to be written to the restart (Save) file.

Rezone

Check this box if you want the user variable to be included in the list of variables that are automatically rezoned.

Transport

Check this box if you want the user variable to be included in the list of variables that are automatically transported in Euler Parts.

Nodal Variable

For the unstructured solvers, element and nodal quantities are stored independently. Check this box to define a user variable that is associated with a node, rather than an element for the unstructured solvers. Note that nodal user variable data can only be interrogated via examine and time history plots. Contour plots are not available.
