Run Fluent Autoclave

Reproduce the validated open autoclave workflow while preserving geometry-specific judgment and numerical evidence.

Workflow

Detect Fluent before launching it. Confirm fluent.exe, PyFluent, version, and job directory.
Inspect the geometry and existing project files. Reuse a valid STEP/fluid domain instead of rebuilding geometry.
Read references/paper-case.md before applying the Bohne-style boundary conditions.
Read references/mcp-workflow.md before controlling Fluent MCP or handling a Chinese path.
Copy the bundled scripts into the job directory and adjust only the geometry-dependent constants.
Generate and check the mesh. Reject unmatched boundary faces, non-manifold faces, invalid volumes, or a misidentified full-face inlet.
Configure Fluent in small validated chunks. Print each model, material, and boundary state after setting it.
Run one time step first. Continue only if the mesh is valid and residuals remain finite.
Run the remaining steps asynchronously when possible, monitor stdout/stderr, and save case/data before post-processing.
Extract mass flow, inlet/outlet average and maximum speeds, global maximum speed and location, pressure drop, temperature range, and the final residuals.
Generate the vertical longitudinal mid-plane velocity contour and streamlines with outlet left and inlet/head right.
Run scripts/validate_results.py on the final JSON. Do not call the result complete if conservation or provenance checks fail.
