Mesh Workflows Context Tab

The Mesh Workflow Context tab allows you to:

  • Generate a workflow from defined steps.

  • Initialize, import, execute and export the workflows.

  • Visualize the workflow properties using the worksheet.

The Mesh Workflows Context tab has the following options:

Mesh Workflows

  • Generate Mesh Workflows: Allows you to generate mesh workflows.

  • Initialize Workflow: Allows you to initialize mesh workflow, transferring selected input geometry to the mesh workflow operations. Named Selections scoped to the input geometry translate into corresponding Labels after initializing the workflow.

  • Import Workflow: Allows you to import workflow steps from a file. Import Workflow is available only after deleting steps and clearing data from the current workflow.

  • Execute Step: Executes the next step of specific Mesh Workflow. Execute Step is available only when Input is scoped. If the mesh workflow is not initialized yet, Execute Step initializes the workflow before executing the step.

  • Execute All Steps: Executes all step of specific Mesh Workflow. Execute All Steps is available only when Input is scoped. If the mesh workflow is not initialized yet, Execute All Steps initializes the workflow before executing the step.

  • Export Workflows: Export the workflow steps as a template to a .emx file.

  • Complete Workflow: Allows you to complete the workflow by transferring generated data back to new mechanical geometry parts along with the corresponding part meshes. You cannot edit the specified mesh workflow type after completing the workflow. Complete Workflow is available only when workflow steps are fully executed. When you click Complete Workflow, the status bar displays the progress of the workflow. You can click the progress bar displayed on the status bar to open the Ansys Workbench Mesh Status window to view the transferring of generated data. To interrupt a running workflow, In Ansys Workbench Mesh Status window, you can use Stop to interrupt the generated workflow data transfer to the new mechanical geometry. Complete Workflow is available only when workflow steps are fully executed.

Views

  • Poperty Worksheet: Helps you view the published properties of each control involved in the mesh workflows, provides an easy visualization of the driving input options for mesh workflows and to edit individual controls. For information about the Worksheet, refer to Property Worksheet.

  • Domain Browser: Allows you to view the parts, zones, or labels involved in the mesh workflows and to edit individual controls in mesh workflows. For information about the Domain Browser, refer to Mesh Workflow Domain Browser.
