Chapter 1: Introduction

This document contains information about Ansys Fluent 2024 R2 beta features, which provide options for modeling and reporting that are outside of the normal scope of Ansys Fluent. These features are not always accessible through the standard menus and dialog boxes, and will require the following text user interface (TUI) command to enable them:

define beta-feature-access


Note:  Please note that if you enable beta features in this case, use any beta features, and then disable beta features, the beta features you put into use may still be active, even though the text and graphical interfaces for these features may no longer be visible. It is therefore recommended that you save a separate copy of the case before any beta feature is activated. This will allow you to return to working on the case with only released features if you desire.



Important:   Note that beta features have not been fully tested and validated. Ansys, Inc. makes no commitment to resolve defects reported against these prototype features. However, your feedback will help us improve the overall quality of the product.



Note:  Beta features are not subject to our Class 3 error reporting system. In addition, we will not guarantee that the input files using this beta feature will run successfully when the feature is finally released so you may, therefore, need to modify the input files.


Included in the information about the beta features are references to related chapters and sections in the Ansys Fluent 2024 R2 Getting Started Guide, User’s Guide, Theory Guide, UDF Manual, and Advanced Add-On Modules.
