4.2.8 The Console
The console is located below the graphics window, as shown in Figure 2.1.1. ANSYS FLUENT
communicates with you through the console. It is used to display various kinds of information (i.e.,
messages relating to meshing or solution procedures, etc.). ANSYS FLUENT saves a certain amount of
information that is written to the console into memory. You can review this information at any time by
using the scroll bar on the right side of the console. The size of the console can be adjusted by raising or
lowering the bottom frame of the graphics window.
The console is similar in behavior to “xterm” or other UNIX command shell tools, or to the MS-DOS
Command Prompt window on Windows systems. It allows you to interact with the TUI menu. More
information on the TUI can be found in Chapter 3: Text User Interface (TUI).
