KR306: Can NMISC and SMISC data be retrieved in 12.0 Workbench? |
Use the user defined results to get the SMISC/NMISC results from your known elements that exist in your mesh (solids, shells, beams<br>but not SURFs or CONTACTs). To access a given record... |
KR307: How can I turn off ANSYS News messages that appear in WB 12? |
There¿s a Tools/Options/Project Management/Start-up/Load News Messages preference. |
KR308: How do I create multiple blade passages for post-processing in CFD-Post if I only analyzed one blade passage? |
See attached PDF file. |
KR309: Are there any knowledge resources on POLYFLOW, FiDAP, and GAMBIT? |
The frequently-asked questions on these products can be found on Fluent Users Services Center. We plan to migrate them to ANSYS portal soon. |
KR310: Are there any best practices documents on cavitation, combustion, HVAC, multiphase, turbomachinery, and numerics for CFX? |
ANSYS CFX Reference Guide includes the following documents:<br><br>CFX Best Practices Guide for Numerical Accuracy<br>CFX Best Practices Guide for Cavitation<br>CFX Best... |
KR311: Where can I find hardware requirements, installation, license, and graphics card related knowledge resources? |
Please click on the Installation/System FAQs link on the left under the Online Support. |
KR312: How can I remove hard edge? |
See attached PDF file. |
KR313: How can I delete the unnecessary bodies? |
See attached PDF file. |
KR314: What's the difference between different meshing options in ANSYS MESHING PLATFORM? |
See attached PDF file. |
KR315: Why can't I click on Physics Preference in the above screen shot? |
This happens when you try to launch the AMP from a Fluid Flow (CFX or FLUENT) Analysis System in the Toolbox from Workbench.<br><br>You can input the Physics Preference in the screen... |
KR316: What is the best practice for virtual topology? |
The Virtual Topology (VT) is performed at the geometry level inside the AMP. The best practice is to use VT first before inflating.<br><br>If the mesh is distorted because of the VT,... |
KR317: What is the difference in inflation between patch conforming and patch independent methods? |
Patch independent method does post-inflation as default and patch conforming method does pre-inflation.<br><br>Post-inflation can be turned on manually for patch conforming method. |
KR318: What is the difference in how the mesher goes about patch independent/ patch conforming methods? |
For patch conforming method, the mesher goes from surface mesh to volume mesh.<br><br>Patch independent method goes the other way. |
KR320: What is the best way to modify inflation without re-generating the volume mesh for PC method? |
If post-inflation method is being used, then the inflation can be modified on the fly without re-generating a volume mesh. |
KR321: What are the two inflation methods and what are the advantages/ disadvantages? |
There are two options for inflation: layer compression and stair stepping. Layer compression is computationally more expensive. |
KR322: What is the restriction on VT when generating a swept mesh? |
Avoid making a virtual face that makes a fully enclosed surface. |
KR323: Can I use mesh created for CFX in FLUENT and vice-versa? |
In Workbench you can use ICEM CFD cfx5 meshes for FLUENT, or .msh files (from gambit or TGrid) for CFX.<br><br>Please keep in mind that the default mesh created for CFX may be too... |
KR324: Does this AMP include meshing capabilities of GAMBIT, TGRID and ICEM? What's missing? What's new? |
The general intention is to inherit the best features from Gambit/TGrid/ICEM. Most of the Gambit and TGrid components are already part of AMP and it continues covering the remaining features like... |
KR325: In my geometry I have both fluid and solid domains. I am interested in fluid analysis. How can I delete/deactivate/suppress the solid domain so as not to mesh it? |
Expand the Geometry branch under Model in Outline.<br>Right-click on Solid and select Suppress Body.<br>(See attached image for details) |
KR326: Where can I find what version of the code I am using? |
Click on the Project under Outline.<br><br>Under the Details of ¿Project¿, you will find the Product Version 12.0.1 Release |
KR327: How can I define boundary zones for FLUENT? |
You can create the boundary zones in DM or AMP for FLUENT.<br><br>In order to let FLUENT apply automatically the boundary conditions according to the name selections, the boundary zone... |
KR328: What is 'Create Named Selection' mean? |
It is prompted in AMP and allows creating a boundary name for a single or a set of surfaces useful as input for some meshing operations and as boundary condition names for FLUENT. |
KR329: What's the difference between 'Update the mesh' vs. 'Generate Mesh' |
The Update command generates the mesh, exports a mesh in the FLUENT format, and brings the Mesh cell Up-to-Date.<br><br>The Generate Mesh command only generates the mesh and does not... |
KR330: How to create periodic mesh in the Mesh module? |
Linking face mesh to create periodic mesh (like in GAMBIT) is not available in Mesh module.<br><br>However, using the ¿Match Control¿, one can match the mesh for two... |
KR331: What is to be done so that an imprinted face is recognized in meshing application? |
Make it a named selection and it can be recognized in meshing platform. |
