Enable/disable whether mesh edges are shown in a mesh display.

Enable/disable the display of the startup page when Ansys Fluent is started without loading a mesh or case file.

Specify the specularity of all surfaces except those included in contour plots. Sepecularity is the reflectiveness of a surface; higher values (closer to 1) equate to a more reflective surface.

Specify the specularity of contour surfaces. Sepecularity is the reflectiveness of a surface; higher values (closer to 1) equate to a more reflective surface.

Enable/disable the display of solver information in the graphics window.

Select a Laplace smoothing option so that auto-partitioning prioritizes convergence and scalability during solution. Through these options, the Laplace smoothing method is enabled so that adjacent highly-stretched cells are grouped together in order to prevent partition boundaries from passing through areas of high-aspect ratio cells. The options include:

Enable/disable the automatic creation of a transcript file for each Ansys Fluent session.

Specify the default file format for saving mesh, case, and data files.

Specify the default file format for saving case and data files.

Contains a listing of messages that can be displayed as Fluent starts.

Specify whether the entire model or just a wireframe is shown during manipulations in the graphics window.

Enter the boundary markers menu.

Enter the colormap settings menu.

Enable/disable double-buffering, which reduces screen flicker, but may use more memory on some machines.

Controls for how embedded window dashboards are created and how they look.

Enable/disable the automatic embedding of the mesh graphics window (if displaying the mesh by default or via the 'Display Mesh' toolbar button), upon initialization.

Enable/disable the automatic embedding of the residual plot window into a new window Fluent starts computing.

The layout of the dashboard displayed when the case file is saved is preserved for the next time the case is read.

A border is drawn around the windows embedded within the parent window.

Allows for the ability to view various graphics displays (mesh, contours, vectors, pathlines, particle tracks) without creating an object in the outline view tree that is saved with the case file.

Options and settings for how animation videos are saved.

Options for specifying the bitrate quality and whether the H.264 compression technique is used.

Specifies the bitrate quality of the saved video file.

Choose whether or not to use the H.264 compression technique when writing the video file.

Specifies the default format for saving video files.

Specifies the default frame rate (in frames per second) for saving video files.

Specifies the default quality for saving video files.

Specifies the x-component of the resolution for saving video files.

Specifies the y-component of the resolution for saving video files.

Specifies the default scaling for saving video files.

Choose whether or not to use smoothing on image resolution when scaling for saving video files.

Choose whether or not to use the graphics window resolution when saving video files.

Enter the graphics effects menu.

Specify the thickness of lines that appear in the graphics window.

Specify the symbol used for indicating points in the graphics window (like the points in an XY plot).

Enter the menu for saving picture settings.

Specify the method for removing hidden surfaces. These methods vary in speed and quality, depending on your machine.

Enter the lighting menu.

Enter the menu for meshing-specific graphics settings.

Enter the menu for selecting the predefined graphics effects settings.

Specify the size of the point tool (10-100).

Enable/disable the display of hidden surfaces.

Enter the menu for specifying transparency preferences.

Enable/disable the exposure of advanced settings.

Enable/disable the exposure of beta features.

Specify which boundaries are displayed by default after the mesh is read.

Enable/disable the use of the Fluent Launcher for starting the Fluent solver when connecting to or creating a new Simulation. This allows you to launch calculations using a different number of CPUs, a different machine, or a queuing system..

Specify how Fluent Meshing will save data when you edit a task.

Enter the menu for specifying drawing settings.

Enable/disable the saving of task editing data when writing a mesh file.

Specify a temporary location to hold generated mesh files. If nothing is specified, Fluent Meshing will write to %TEMP% on Windows and to /tmp on Linux.

Enable/disable the printing of additional information and messages in the Console.

Enable/disable the printing of additional information and messages in the Console.

Specify the default turbulence model (viscous).

Use local residual scaling for solution residuals.

Enable/disable the application of poor mesh numerics to non-premixed or partially premixed combustion cases, with the goal of increasing the robustness of the calculations that use a PDF table. When enabled, the register-based definition for poor mesh numerics treatment that is automatically created at initialization or when data is read (named pmn_pdf_stability_marker) is activated, and thus applies the treatment at regular intervals throughout the calculations to the cells that have an enthalpy value that is less than the minimum enthalpy defined in the PDF table.

Enter the menu for report definition preferences.

New report definitions will automatically create associated report files and plots.

Specify how many data points are read from the associated report file and plotted in the graphics window. If the case/data files are already open, read the case and data again, after changing this setting, and re-plot to see the updated report plot.
