How to get started with ANSYS products? The installed software is available via the module environment: > module load cae/ansys/13.0 Launching ANSYS products: > runwb2 ANSYS Workbench > fluent ANSYS FLUENT > cfx5 ANSYS CFX > ansys130 g Mechanical APDL > anshelp130 ANSYS 13.0 Help 7 11.11.11

ANSYS Workbench Common data usage both systems use the same geometry Toolbox Analysis Systems Component Systems Custom Systems Design Exploration Fluid problem with FLUENT Coupling of two systems cells Static structural analysis with ANSYS Mechanical Data transfer the solution of the CFD part is the initial condition of the setup cell of the mechanical part 8 11.11.11

The cells Engineering Data Library with predefined material properties. Geometry Starts the Design Modeler. Model Mesh Setup(ANSYS) Starts the Mechanical program. Further geometry properties can be specified, e.g. coordinate systems and the structure will be meshed. Starts the Mesh program for CFD solver. Mesh properties can be specified, the mesh strategy identified, and the solution space will be meshed. Continuous the Mechanical program by specification of further model properties (e.g. material properties, boundary conditions and loads, etc.) and solver parameters. Setup (FLUENT) Starts the GUI of Fluent for further model description. Setup (CFX) Starts the CFX-Pre for further model description. 9 11.11.11 Solution Results Starts the appropriate solver manager. Opens the post processor of the appropriate program. For ANSYS the post processor of Mechanical is started, for Fluent and CFX the CFD-Post will be started.

Example: the Geometry cell imports an.agdb file or files in other CAD formats duplicates the analysis system links to other analysis systems or component systems makes an update of the cell reads the information of the cells before it deletes all information from the cell changes the name of the analysis system or component system defines cell properties opens context help 10 11.11.11

ANSYS Fluent FLUENT is a finite volume program for the calculation of flow problems. The problems which can be treated are described as follows: isotherm and non-isotherm compressible and non-compressible flows laminar and turbulence flows stationary and unsteady flows Newtonian and non-newtonian flows multiphase fluid dynamics (flow-flow, flow-solid) heat conduction and convection active grid free surface chemical reactions combustion process 12 11.11.11

Tutorial: Fluent in ANSYS Workbench Topics covered: create, solve and post-process of a simple Fluent analysis on ANSYS Workbench The Geometry cell is now up to date the geometry probe.agdb has been imported 24 11.11.11

Design Modeler The Design Modeler application starts with the loaded geometry. 25 11.11.11

Design Modeler View the summary of all the named faces. To generate and view the mesh 26 11.11.11

Design Modeler The Mesh and FLUENT input files have been generated and the Mesh cell is up-to-date. 27 11.11.11

Fluent opens with the mesh loaded The model has to be specified in more detail Boundary conditions need to be specified The solution must be initialized before Fluent can begin calculating Select run calculation 28 11.11.11

Fluent Run calculation 29 11.11.11

CFD-Post Loads the result in CFD-Post Click insert and select contour 30 11.11.11

CFD-Post A contour plot of static pressure has been generated on the symmetry boundary. Specify the geometry parameters accordingly 31 11.11.11

View Files Click View and select Files You can review the project files by displaying all the files associated with the project. 32 11.11.11

Fluent in Batch Mode Example of an.inp file ;read a case file /file/read-case example.cas ;initialize the flow field with the ;current default values /solve/initialize/initialize-flow ;perform 100 iterations /solve/iterate 100 ;write a case and a data file /file/write-case-data example100.dat read case files modification of modeling data (optional) calculation write case/data files termination ;exit program exit yes 33 11.11.11

How to get a Journal File In order to record a journal file from a session in the command mode you can proceed as follows: 1. Start FLUENT in interactive mode 2. Activate writing a journal file (select File > Write > Start Journal) 3. All further entries have to be in text mode using the keyboard Perform the steps outlined in the diagram on the previous slide (a simulation with only one iterations is useful for testing) 4. Close the journal file in the menu (select File > Write > Stop Journal) 5. Close FLUENT 34 11.11.11
