4.2. File Operation Differences

CFD-Post launched from Ansys Workbench has default locations for file operations that are appropriate for Ansys Workbench:

  • Save operations default to the user_files directory. The user_files directory appears under the directory that holds the Project file (<projectfile_name>/user_files/).

  • Open operations default to the permanent files directory. The permanent files directory holds the Project file.

  • Export operations initially default to the user_files directory, but change to the last directory used for an export operation during a session.

In addition, there is an icon in the directory tree that takes you to the user_files, and all recent directory selections are available from the directory path drop-down selector.
