Fork a Cloud Case#

This example demonstrates the procedure for continue from an existing simulation case stored in the cloud. It shows how to retrieve a parent case, modify specific simulation parameters (in this instance, the angle of attack), and subsequently initiate a new case based on these adjusted parameters while referencing the original case.

 1import flow360 as fl
 2
 3project = fl.Project.from_cloud("PROJECT_ID_HERE")
 4
 5parent_case = fl.Case(id="PARENT_CASE_ID_HERE")
 6
 7param: fl.SimulationParams = parent_case.params
 8
 9# fork with new angle of attack being 1.23 degrees
10param.operating_condition.alpha = 1.23 * fl.u.deg
11
12project.run_case(params=param, fork_from=parent_case, name="Forked case with new alpha")

Notes#

  • Existing projects and cases are accessed via Project.from_cloud and Case respectively.

  • Simulation parameters are retrieved from the parent case using parent_case.params and subsequently modified.

  • The fork_from argument within project.run_case specifies the parent case from which the new simulation is derived.
