Chapter 20: Fluent Field Variables Listed by Category

By default, CFD-Post does not modify the variable names in the Fluent file. If you want to use all of the embedded CFD-Post macros and calculation options, you need to convert variable names to CFX variable names. You can convert variable names to CFX variable names upon reading the file by first selecting Edit > Options, then, in the Options dialog box:

For legacy Fluent files: selecting CFD-Post > Files > Variables > Non CFX Files > Translate variable names to CFX-Solver style names.
For Common Fluids Format (CFF) files: setting CFD-Post > Files > Variables > Common Fluids Format > Name Convention to CFD-Post.

For details on the settings above, see Variables.

Note: Some variable names might not be translated.

Translation is carried out according to the tables that follow, which list the Fluent field variables and give the equivalent Ansys CFX variables where applicable. The variables are defined in Alphabetical Listing of Field Variables and Their Definitions in the Fluent User's Guide.
