FEMGEN/FEMVIEW is a finite-element modelling and result-presentation system.
FEMGEN/FEMVIEW combines, in a single application, powerful, menu-driven pre and post-processing, incorporating interactive geometry-based grid-generation and versatile results display, including a facility animate result presentations.
Two interface programs have been created by FEMVIEW Limited for the transfer of data between FEMGEN/FEMVIEW and PHOENICS.
The FEMGEN-to-PHOENICS program allows a PHOENICS BFC-grid to be created using FEMGEN. Boundary conditions (inlets, outlets, walls, PATCHES a blockages) can be specified with FEMGEN, which then creates a skeleton Q1 file with PHOENICS settings for the boundary conditions.
The PHOENICS-to-FEMVIEW interface can be used for the analysis of problems in all grid geometries handled by PHOENICS (Cartesian, cylindrical-polar and BFC).
The interface programs work with PHOENICS direct-access and XYZ file
FII1 is an integer index, usable in subroutines called from GROUND, for accessing the 2D array of values, pertaining to the current IZ-slab, of: values for the current phase-1 variable at the phase interface.
FII2 is an integer index, usable in subroutines called from GROUND, for accessing the
2D array of values, pertaining to the current IZ-slab, of:
values for the current phase-2 variable at the phase interface.
---- PIL real array; default=1.E-10 (for newly-declared variables);
FIINIT(phi)....initial value of the variable to be taken over the whole field, unless further modified by PATCH and INIT.
FIINIT values are set, in GROUP 11, as follows:-
FIINIT(C1)=0.00139 , or equivalently FIINIT(16)=1.39E-3
If it is desired to use, as the initial field of a given variable, the field obtained (and SAVEd ) on a previous run, then set,
FIINIT(variable name)= READFI.
See INIT for information regarding PATCH-wise initializations.
A FINE_GRID_VOL object is used to declare a rectangular volume within which the grid is refined. See the description in the PHOENICS_VR Reference Guide, TR326

[Fill/Isolines] switches between filled contour and contour lines.
A utility supplied with PHOENICS enables users to reduce the size of a PHI or PHIDA file by removing from it those fields which they do not need.
It is activated by way of the runfil or runfils command.
(See also entry: PARSOL)
Accuracy of simulation often requires that the computational grid should be very fine around regions of the domain exhibiting steep gradients of temperature, concentration, density or other significant fluid property.
In earlier versions of PHOENICS, this entailed also extending the fineness into regions where it was not required.
Fine-grid embedding, now available, renders this unnecessary; for it is possible to refine the grid ONLY where necessary.

FIXCOR....parameter used to anchor coordinate points in sub-domains specified by FIXDOM, when the MAGIC(L) option is used.
When FIXCOR is set to a value less than 1.E10, the effect is to introduce a resistance
to movement of the coordinates within the sub-domain specified by FIXDOM. The smaller the
value of FIXCOR, the less the resistance is. This device can be used to reduce the
movements of the coordinates which the Laplace solver brings about.
See FIXDOM, MAGIC
for related information.
---- Command; group 6 ---------------
FIXDOM....command used to specify (up to 10) sub-domains in which it is desired to keep the coordinate points fixed when the Laplace corner-coordinate solver, MAGIC(L), is invoked. It has seven arguments: the first specifies the sub-domain number (from 1 to 10); the remaining six arguments locate, by their index numbers, the sub-domain boundaries of the corner coordinates that are to be kept fixed, ie.
FIXDOM(sub-domain no.,first I,last I,first J,last J,first K,last K).
When the DOMAIN over which MAGIC(L) operates includes a solid, the FIXDOM command may be used to prevent the Laplace solver from moving the corner coordinates that correspond to the locations of the solid.
It is also useful where one wishes to retain a fine-grid zone, which otherwise MAGIC(L) might coarsen.
See MAGIC, FIXCOR for related information.

FIXFLU....is a coefficient name recognized in the third argument of COVAL, to be used to indicate a fixed-flux condition.
See COVAL for further information.
------ PIL real flag; value=1.0; group 13 - -
FIXP....is a coefficient name recognized in the third argument of COVAL, to be used when the external pressures are fixed. FIXP corresponds to coefficient for pressure of numerical value 1.0 . This means that the mass flow is taken as the geometrical area, given by the PATCH type, times the difference between the external pressure and in-cell pressure. The 4th argument of COVAL specifies the external pressure.
FIXP does not necessarily fix the internal pressures: see COVAL.
---- PIL real flag; value=2.0E10; group 1 -
FIXVAL....is a coefficient name recognized in the third argument of COVAL, to be used to indicate a fixed-value condition. See COVAL for further information.
FLAGS are those variables which have been assigned values of particular significance to PHOENICS. The word is used in responses, for example that for FIXVAL (above).
Their assignments must not be altered.
