### 3.1.3. Using Expressions with Initial Conditions

The initial conditions can be defined using any valid CEL expression. However, in general, to avoid infinite recursion or problems with initialization on parallel runs, the expression may only contain the CFX System Variables `x`, `y`, `z`, `r`, and `theta`.

For details, see CFX Expression Language (CEL) in the CFX Reference Guide.
