Hi,

Is it possible to set a reference frame rotational speed using a parameter? Whenever I try, it just reverts back to a numeric value.

Thanks,

Chris

    When you mention 'it just reverts back to a numeric value' - do you mean the parameter is lost in the GUI?  Or do you mean that the input file only has the current numeric value written, and not any parameter?

    Just that when I try to enter the parameter name (e.g. 'omega') in the input box for the Reference Frame and press enter, it just reverts to the previous numeric value in the box.

    Which version (and OS) of HyperWorks CFD are you using?  In the latest Windows release - 2022.1 - the parameter persists, as seen in the attached screen recording.

    I'm using 2021.2. I'll get the latest version installed and see if I can get it to work there.

    Thanks,
