When you update a Solution cell or interrupt an ongoing Fluent calculation, Fluent automatically generates the following files:
report.xml that contains the information about the current design point.
.png images of residuals and any solution monitors that have been defined in Ansys Fluent (if Generate Solution Monitor Plots for Report is selected in the Properties pane for the Solution cell.
(if available) .png images of contour and/or vector plots that have been previously defined in Ansys Fluent.
Fluent saves these files in appropriate file directories within the Workbench project. These files appear in the Files pane.
The Fluent project report XML file contains the following information in a tabular format:
-
Version displays the information about the solver version.
-
Models lists the Ansys Fluent models and their status.
-
Material Properties lists all the materials defined in the case and their properties.
-
Cell Zone Conditions displays information about cell zones defined in the problem and their setup conditions.
-
Boundary Conditions displays information about boundary zones that exist in the problem and their specific conditions.
-
Solver Settings shows information about solution controls, discretization schemes, and other solution-related settings specified in the simulation.
When you export the project report as HTML as described in Working with Project Reports in the Workbench User's Guide, the content of the Fluent project
report file will be added to the end of the generated project report.
In addition, the following sections will be included at the end of
the project report:
-
Solution Monitor Plot Images display the convergence history and available solution monitor plots (if Generate Solution Monitor Plots for Report is selected in the Properties pane for the Solution cell). Note that the solution monitor plot images can be created only if the SolutionMonitor.gz file has been generated during the update.
-
Post Processing Graphics Object Images (if available) display contour and vector plots that have been previously defined in Fluent.
