You can bypass the Geometry cell and the Mesh cell and begin the simulation process by importing a case file. The process differs slightly for CFX and Fluent-based systems.
Right-click the Setup cell and select > .
In the Open dialog, browse to find your case file and click .
If the Geometry and Mesh cells are unused (empty), then the unused cells are automatically deleted.
If either cell has an incoming or outgoing connection, then it is considered used, and is not deleted.
Because CFX supports multiple meshes imported into a single setup cell, if either of the Geometry or Mesh cells contains data, neither cell is deleted. As a result, both the Mesh generated in the Mesh cell and the mesh imported from the case file is combined in CFX-Pre.
Once the import is complete, to start CFX-Pre, double-click the Setup cell or right-click the cell and select from the context menu.
From this point, follow the procedure described in Basic Fluid Flow Analysis, Starting from Geometry.
