During an Ansys Fluent session you may need to import and export several kinds of files. Files that are read include mesh, case, data, profile, Scheme, and journal files. Files that are written include case, data, profile, journal, and transcript files. Ansys Fluent also has features that enable you to save pictures of graphics windows. You can also export data for use with various visualization and postprocessing tools. These operations are described in the following sections.
Important: Ensure that you have read/write permission in the local user directory and that there are not any locked files in this directory, which could interfere with reading files into Ansys Fluent.
