transcript.start behaviour

[mkundu1]

import ansys.fluent.core as pyfluent
solver = pyfluent.launch_fluent(show_gui=True, start_transcript=False)
solver.transcript.start(file_path="a.trn")  # write to both file and stdout
solver.transcript.stop()
solver.transcript.start(file_path="a.trn", write_to_interpreter=False)  # write to file only
solver.transcript.stop()
solver.transcript.start(file_path="a.trn")  #  write to file only

We can make it to behave like Python logging module:

import logging
logging.warning("abc")  # writes to stdout only

import logging
logging.basicConfig(filename="a.log")
logging.warning("abc")  # writes to file only

To write to both file and stdout, the logging module requires additional configuration.

So, in our case, we can do

transcript.start()  # write to stdout only
transcript.start(file_path="a.trn")  # write to file only
transcript.start(file_path="a.trn", write_to_stdout=True)  # write to both file and stdout
