how to permanently initialize the flow field or automate the initialization process

[andradesilva]

Hello,

I am coupling Design Optimization with ANSYS Fluent in Workbench 2020 R2. I can do the analysis. I am patching the initial Temperature values of the zones. However, the patch only works in the first project run. In the next runs, the patch is not run as it should, so the initial temperatures are not correctly assigned to my models' zones. How can I permanently initialize the flow field or automate the initialization process to run in the beginning of each run?

I thank you in advance,
Best regards,
