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.
