setup_for_fluent

[seanpearsonuk]

• User creates a Python journal, fluent.py, in Fluent
• First line in journal reads e.g. setup_for_fluent(version="23.1.0", mode="meshing")
• Subsequent lines use global PyConsole objects, meshing, workflow, solver, ...
• User runs: python -i -m ansys.fluent.core fluent.py

To get this to work seamlessly in PyFluent, the key task is to implement setup_for_fluent in PyFluent. setup_for_fluent needs to call launch_fluent. With mode="solver", it will call launch_fluent with mode="solver" and place the returned object in the global namespace. With mode="meshing", it will call launch_fluent with mode="meshing". From the returned session object, it will place session.meshing and session.workflow in the global namespace. It also needs to create a solver session object using the same connection information and also place it in the global namespace.

I have a test implementation of setup_for_fluent in feat/setup_for_fluent_test branch which can be used as a reference.

Ok. Thank you, Mainak.

@hpohekar this one is relatively high priority.
