If automatic time incrementation is not selected in the analysis procedure, values of PNEWDT that are greater than 1.0 will be ignored and values of PNEWDT that are less than 1.0 will cause the job to terminate.

ENER

Energy per unit mass stored in the fluid. This variable is used for energy output only and has no effect on the solution.

Variables passed in for information

PRESS

Fluid cavity pressure at the end of the increment. For a linear perturbation step this is the base state pressure.

DPRESS

Fluid cavity pressure increment. For a linear perturbation step this value is zero.

PRESSI

Fluid cavity pressure at the beginning of the analysis.

TEMP

Fluid cavity temperature at the end of the increment. For a linear perturbation step this is the base state temperature.

DTEMP

Fluid cavity temperature increment. For a linear perturbation step this value is zero.

TEMPI

Fluid cavity temperature at the beginning of the analysis.

TIME(1)

Current value of step time at the start of the increment.

TIME(2)

Current value of total time at the start of the increment.

DTIME

Time increment.

KSTEP

Step number.

KINC

Increment number.

NONUM

Cavity reference node number.

FLNAME

User-specified fluid property name, left justified.

LFLAG

Linear perturbation flag for the step. If this is a linear perturbation step, LFLAG=1. For a general analysis step LFLAG=0.
