    • General makes use of all features in CFX-Pre. This is the most common mode of operation.

    • Turbomachinery is used specifically for turbomachinery applications and enables quick setup in such cases. For details, see Turbomachinery Mode.

    • Quick Setup provides fewer model options and is suitable for simple physics setup. It is useful as a tool to learn the basic paradigms of CFX-Pre before using General mode. For details, see Quick Setup Mode.

    • Library Template enables a CCL physics definition to be imported for use on a mesh. For details, see Library Objects.
