Fluent (with CFD-Post) (Beta) Component System

The Fluent (with CFD-Post) (Beta) component system allows you to complete fluid flow analysis of incompressible and compressible fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries. You specify the computational models, materials, boundary conditions, and solution parameters in Fluent, where the calculations are solved. You can then analyze the results of the calculations in CFD-Post.

To use Fluent (with CFD-Post) (Beta) with Workbench:

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

  2. To open Fluent in solution mode, where you can specify the computational models, materials, boundary conditions, and solution parameters, as well as perform the calculations:

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

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

  3. 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 Fluent, and start the solver.

  4. To analyze the results of the calculations in CFD-Post, right-click the Results cell and select Edit.
