Ansys (Synopsys)

Fluent

Ansys Fluent supports computational fluid dynamics for flow, heat transfer and related physics.

On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.

Workflow ideas

Prepare a fluid domain

Start from the fluid domain, geometry cleanup and meshing intent. In the intended Fluent preview, prepare a fluid domain; the visible result is a domain view with regions, interfaces and mesh controls exposed. Review watertightness, scale, near-wall treatment and cell quality before accepting or exporting it.

Configure boundaries and models

Begin with the selected fluids, boundaries and physics models. In the intended Fluent preview, configure boundaries and models; the visible result is a configured case with inlet, outlet, wall and solver settings visible. Review physical assumptions, reference values and convergence monitors before accepting or exporting it.

Review convergence and fields

Use the result fields, monitor history and balance reports. In the intended Fluent preview, review convergence and fields; the visible result is contours and performance quantities tied to the solved domain. Review residuals, conservation, mesh sensitivity and expected flow behaviour before accepting or exporting it.
