14.3.1. Supported Capabilities and Limitations

  • CFX can only couple to one GT-SUITE model in a single simulation or configuration.

  • CFX only supports the interface type of 1 (vel-flow) for all coupling patches in the corresponding GT-SUITE model.

  • CFX does not support multiphase flows for simulations with GT-SUITE coupling.

  • CFX does not support transient blade row cases with GT-SUITE coupling.

  • CFX does not support Edit Run in Progress for GT-SUITE coupling. The solver will only print a warning message to the CFX-Solver Output file and ignore the modified command file.

  • There is no support for running a GT-SUITE coupling case with CFX running on one platform and GT-SUITE running on another platform. You can, however, set up a GT-SUITE coupling case on one platform then run it on another platform.

  • CFX has been tested with coupling to GT-SUITE:

    • v2019 Build 3

    • v2020 Build 1

    • v2021 Build 1

    • v2022 Build 1

    • v2023 Build 1

    • v2024 Build 1

    Other versions might work but have not been certified.
