The CFX system launches Ansys CFX, a general-purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software suite that performs fluid-flow analysis of incompressible and compressible fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries. You import meshes, specify the materials, boundary conditions, and solution parameters, solve the calculations, view the results, then create reports using built-in tools.
For detailed information on working with Ansys CFX, see Ansys CFX in Ansys Workbench.
For information on submitting Ansys CFX jobs to Remote Solve Manager, see Submitting CFX Jobs to Remote Solve Manager.
To work through a CFX system:
To add an CFX component system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.
To Import a previously saved case file, right-click the Setup cell and select > .
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 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 > .
To analyze the results of the calculations in CFD-Post, right-click the Results cell and select Edit from the context menu.
