Ansys CFX applications launched from Ansys Workbench have 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/).If the default directory has already been set, changing the save location in a file dialog box also changes the default save directory. If a change is made to the project directory through Ansys Workbench, that will also reset the default directory.
Note: A change in defaults is held only for the duration of the Ansys CFX application session (that is, an exit and re-edit of an Ansys CFX application) will reset the defaults back to project user_files for export operations and to the permanent files directory for import operations.
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.
