The Fluid Flow (Fluent) system performs fluid-flow analysis of incompressible and compressible fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries.
This analysis is configured in Ansys Fluent.
You can use a Fluent fluid flow analysis system to apply a computational mesh to a geometry within Workbench, then use Fluent to define pertinent mathematical models (for example, low-speed, high-speed, laminar, turbulent, and so on), select materials, define boundary conditions, and specify solution controls that best represent the problem to be solved. Fluent solves the mathematical equations, and the results of the simulation can be displayed in CFD-Post for further analysis (for example, contours, vectors, and so on).
For detailed information on working with Fluent, see the Fluent User's Guide, the Fluent in Workbench User's Guide, and the other online documentation available under the Help menu within Fluent.
To work through a Fluid Flow (Fluent) system:
To add a Fluid Flow (Fluent) analysis system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.
To load the geometry, right-click the Geometry cell and select one of the following options from the context menu:
To create a mesh, right-click the Mesh cell and select from the context menu.
Right-click the Setup cell and select one of the following options from the context menu:
To specify the Fluent settings, select .
To import a previously saved Fluent case file, select .
To import previously saved Fluent case and data files, select .
To analyze the results of the calculations in CFD-Post, right-click the Results cell and select from the context menu.
