Hello every one, im working on a steady state cfd 3d model with laminar flow and varying the velocity inlet value (theres onle 1 inlet). I would like to scale and use each solution as the initial value to the next simulation with a diferent velocity value.

For example i would solve my model with a velocity of 1m/s, and then set it to 1.1 m/s, and set the initial value as (sol1)*(1.1). I know the solutions are not linear and may not be similar at all, but it could be a good initial aproximation in my case. I don't know if it is a good idea yet , i would lie to try it.

Any ideas on how to do this?

The initial values node in the laminar node dosn't seem to take solution outputs as input, and the stationary step "initial values of variable solved for" doesn't have a scale option.

Thanks in advance
