Fluent

The Fluent system launches Ansys Fluent, allowing you to complete fluid flow analysis of incompressible and compressible fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries.

Within Fluent, a computational mesh is applied to a geometry, 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).

To work through a Fluent system:

  1. To add a Fluent component system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.

  2. Right-click the Setup cell and select one of the following options from the context menu:

    • To specify the Fluent settings, select Edit.

    • To import a previously saved Fluent case file, select Import Fluent Case.

    • To import previously saved Fluent case and data files, select Import Fluent Case And Data.
