Fluent has guided workflows that take you through the step-by-step process of setting up these meshes so anyone can start off with CFD meshing without being an expertįor the purposes of this blog, we will focus on the watertight geometry meshing workflow in Ansys Fluent. If you are not a CFD expert or a meshing expert, you will want to reduce the burden on the end-user to come up with manual meshes that need to be optimized in terms of cell count and also quality. Next, in the recent versions of Ansys Fluent we aim for something called a task-based workflow. This makes it really convenient, especially for new users. You have your CAD prepped for simulation, you import it into the fluent interface, you surface measure, volume measure and set it up for simulation, solve it and then do post-processing without having to step outside the Fluent environment. Single-Window Workflowįluent meshing allows you to have a single-window workflow in which you can go from CAD import right up to post-processing.

Let’s take a minute to elaborate on some of the capabilities and features that you stand to gain when using Fluent meshing. Don’t forget to take a look at the recent AVA for a deeper dive and keep reading to learn more! Benefits of Fluent MeshingĪnsys Fluent meshing is a powerful tool, which can be used to achieve high-quality and accurate measures for your 3D geometries. In this blog, I will be highlighting some of the concepts covered in the session. This was followed by a surface measuring demo using the guided workflow. The session followed the easy and intuitive steps in the guided workflow to auto-generate a high quality CFD mesh in Fluent meshing. Ansys Fluent is the world’s most powerful, widely known, general- purpose computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool. In this Ansys Virtual Academy, a monthly on-going webinar series on all things simulation, we walked viewers through the guided meshing workflow for watertight geometry.
