access to solver workflow

🐞 Description of the bug

if running fluent solver you can access the workflow directly via the pyconsole, e.g. workflow.InitializeWorkflow(WorkflowType=r"Turbo Workflow")

if running pyfluent externally I couldn´t figure out how to access this object, e.g. solver.workflow.InitializeWorkflow(WorkflowType=r"Turbo Workflow") leads to an error.

so how to access & control the workflow object?

📝 Steps to reproduce

launch fluent via pyfluent & execute command: solver.workflow.InitializeWorkflow(WorkflowType=r"Turbo Workflow")

This works. @raph-luc, Is it working for you?

[raph-luc]

You're right @seanpearsonuk, it works for me as well. Tried both v241 and v242 and both work fine on my end.

@gantnera I am not sure what may be going wrong. Can you try updating PyFluent to the latest 0.19.2 version? You are on a development version 0.19.dev1 according to your installed packages logs.
