CFX (Beta) Component System

Ansys CFX allows you to perform fluid-flow analysis of incompressible and compressible fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries. The CFX (Beta) system can suppress physics errors from CFX-Pre and solve the calculations with the errors suppressed.

To use CFX (Beta) with Workbench:

  1. To add an CFX (Beta) component system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.

  2. To read a mesh and specify the Ansys CFX physics definitions in CFX-Pre:

    • Right-click the Setup cell and select Edit from the context menu.

    • To Import a previously saved case file, right-click the Setup cell and select Import Case > Browse from the context menu.

  3. To suppress the physics errors, right-click the Setup cell and select Suppress Physics Errors from the context menu.

  4. To start the solver:

    • Right-click the Solution cell and select Update from the context menu.

    • Right-click the Solution cell and select Edit from the context menu, set the solver execution controls in CFX-Solver Manager, and start the solver.

    • To import an existing CFX-Solver Results file, right-click the Solution cell and select Import Solution > Browse.
