Solver Ansys CFX (CFX–5)
Type of meshunstructured mesh
Dimension3D

This translator writes coordinates, connectivity and family information of an unstructured mesh file in Ansys CFX (CFX-5.2) format.

Creating the Ansys CFX (CFX-5.2) Input File

The translator writes the Ansys CFX (CFX-5.2) input file using an unstructured mesh file and its boundary condition file. To create the Ansys CFX (CFX-5.2) file, select the translator Ansys CFX in the Output Solver list and click Apply. Select the  Write input option in the Output tab. A window will open to allow the specification of the files to be translated into the Ansys CFX format.

Ansys CFX Options

Specify the following:

  • the name of the boundary condition file

  • the name of the Ansys CFX (CFX-5) file

  • the scaling factor for the coordinates in the geometry file (optional)

  • the coordinate system, global or local

  • ASCII or binary output

  • single or double precision

  • the Ansys CFX (CFX-5) version: Pre-5.5 or 5.5 or later

The interface generates the Ansys CFX (CFX-5) file in the project directory.

Defining Boundary Conditions

There are no boundary conditions settings required for this translator. Note however that the family information is exported to the Ansys CFX (CFX-5) file.
