FLUENT Pre & Post Processing

The following applies to ANSYS Academic products that contain FLUENT at release 12.1:

• Using FLUENT 12.1 within the Workbench environment:– DesignModeler & ANSYS Meshing are used for preprocessing. – FLUENT is an integrated pre-solve-post application. There aren’t

separate applications for Pre or Post, like CFX has. – FLUENT users can read in the mesh; set-up their BC’s, physical


– FLUENT users can read in the mesh; set-up their BC’s, physical models, solver settings, etc.; iterate; and post-process all without leaving the single FLUENT application.

– You can choose to use FLUENT’s integrated post-processing or post-process with ANSYS CFD-Post.

processing.– FLUENT’s integrated post-processing can be used as can ANSYS

CFD-Post.

Compatibility with legacy FLUENT 6.3

• Solved FLUENT 6.3 databases can be imported by FLUEN T 13.0 & post processed using the bundled CFD-Post.

• Cases set-up in FLUENT 6.X, but not yet solved, can be imported into FLUENT 12.1

• FLUENT 6.3 UDF’s: Usually when moving to a newer FLU ENT version, UDFs need to be recompiled.

–Sometimes calls in the solver have changed, and the user needs to modify the UDF accordingly before recompiling.

–


modify the UDF accordingly before recompiling.–This is not a difficult process.

Importing legacy GAMBIT geometry

• GAMBIT & TGrid are replaced by the following ANSYS W orkbench applications present in ANSYS Academic Products:

• ANSYS DesignModeler for Geometry• ANSYS Meshing for mesh/grid generation

• For users needing continued access to GAMBIT & TGrid we have an academic promotion that provides an annual lease of Academic GAMBIT/TGrid at a discounted price.

–See migration section.•


–See migration section.• GAMBIT models can be exported as Parasolid, STEP, or IGES.

• Any of these formats can be imported into DesignModeler.

Importing legacy GAMBIT mesh data

• Neither ANSYS Meshing, nor ICEM CFD can read a GAMBI T database model (*.dbs).

• An existing mesh (*.msh) file can be imported direct ly into FLUENT 12.0/12.1/13.0.

• ANSYS Meshing can read meshes & cases saved by GAMBI T, TGrid, and FLUENT 6.X.

• ANSYS Meshing can read *.msh through the use of FEMo deler• Read the *.msh file into FEModeler, skin it and take the mesh and


• Read the *.msh file into FEModeler, skin it and take the mesh and geometry skin to ANSYS Meshing.

• ANSYS ICEM CFD can also read *.msh files.

Licensing Troubleshooting…

If you are experiencing a licensing issue here’s your checklist:

• Make sure that you have installed the release 13.0 academic product & are not trying to use your new license file with an older installation!

• Do not try & work out what product or features you should have by looking at the license file.

• Identify what product you have by reviewing your License Form. If in


• Identify what product you have by reviewing your License Form. If in doubt contact your site coordinator or ANSYS sales contact.

• Once the 13.0 academic product has been identified, then use the academic product features table on the academic public website to check what features should be available.

Compatibility of 13.0 Licenses…

• Because there have been no changes to the Academic L icense keys since Release 12.0:

• R13.0 & R12.1 license keys function with R12.1 & R 12.0 product installations.• R12.0 & R12.1 license keys do function with R13.0 & R12.1 product

installations.• Valid only if the product license existed at that release of course!

• Release 13.0, 12.1 & 12.0 academic license keys do n ot function with 11.0 product installations.

• Because the appended features needed for 11.0 are absent.


• Because the appended features needed for 11.0 are absent.• Some 11.0 products may function, but no guarantee.

• Release 11.0 license keys do function with 12.0, 12. 1 & 13.0 installations.

• Allows mid-term TECS/Lease customers to upgrade.• The 11.0 licenses contain more increments in the file that are not

used/required.• Exception would be the obsolete 11.0 product licenses.• The 11.0 Academic HPC toolbox licenses are supported at 12.0 & 12.1

Shared versus separate licenses setting

License Preferences

Shared License Mode

• Applications running within the Workbench GUI are separate windows (since 12.0), rather than tabs within a parent window.

• When a user moves between different application windows, only one application window will remain active at a time. This is referred to as the shared license mode. Most academic customers will use this mode. –Inactive application windows enter a “pause” state, essentially a “view

only” mode.


only” mode.• An optional license mode allows multiple application windows

to remain active, but each active application will check out a separate academic product task.

• The license mode is selected via the licensing preferences dialogue box.

Shared License Mode - General

• The shared license mode ensures uniform Pre/Solve/Post access, regardless of the academic product capability being used.

• A single task user must move sequentially from pre, solver & post processing & may not interact with pre or post whilst a solver is running.
