The Fluent (with Fluent Meshing) system (also known as Fluent Meshing or Fluent in meshing mode) launches Ansys Fluent, allowing you to complete fluid flow analysis of incompressible and compressible fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries.
Within Fluent in meshing mode, a computational mesh is imported and manipulated. Switch to Fluent in solution mode where pertinent mathematical models are applied (for example, low-speed, high-speed, laminar, turbulent, and so on), materials are chosen, boundary conditions are defined, and solution controls are specified that best represent the problem to be solved. Fluent solves the mathematical equations, and results of the simulation can be displayed in Fluent for further analysis (for example, contours, vectors, and so on).
For detailed information on working with Fluent Meshing, see the Fluent User's Guide as well as the other on-line documentation available under the Help menu within Fluent Meshing. In addition, see the Fluent in Workbench User's Guide.
