15.3.2. Initialize All Components

To access the initialization options, double-click Initialization in the Turbo tree view. The Initialize All Components button that appears is used to set the region and instancing information for each of the domains contained in your results file.

Correctly defined turbo spaces, as described in Requirements for Initialization, can be automatically initialized. To automatically initialize all components using the default (best guess) region assignment, you can do one of the following:

  • Choose to auto-initialize all components when a message prompts you upon entering the Turbo workspace for the first time (after loading a case).

  • Right-click a component in the Turbo tree view and select Initialize All.

  • Use a CCL instruction; for details, see Initializing all Turbo Components.


Tip:  For automatic 360° initialization, CFD-Post uses cut planes and then looks for intersections between these and the turbo regions. However, if gaps within the slice (due to the blade region) are large relative to complexity of the topology and curvature of the passage is high, automatic 360° initialization might fail as CFD-Post cannot reconstruct the passage curves. If your case has regions, you should be able to manually initialize by setting the turbo regions from any one of the passages. See Individual Component Initialization (Advanced Feature) for details.
