d. Click again on Mesh in the Outline view and expand the Inflation node to reveal additional inflation parameters. Change Use Automatic Inflation to Program Controlled. 4. Generate the mesh. Right-click Mesh in the project Outline tree, and select Update in the context menu. Figure 1.14 The Computational Mesh for the Elbow Geometry in the ANSYS Meshing Application Important Using the Generate Mesh option creates the mesh, but does not actually create the relevant mesh files for the project and is optional if you already know that the mesh is acceptable. Using the Update option automatically generates the mesh, creates the relevant mesh files for your project, and updates the ANSYS Workbench cell that references this mesh.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Using ANSYS FLUENT in ANSYS Workbench: Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Mixing Elbow Note Once the mesh is generated, you can view the mesh statistics by opening the Statistics node in the Details of “Mesh” view. This will display information such as the number of nodes and the number of elements. 5. Close the ANSYS Meshing application. You can close the ANSYS Meshing application without saving it because ANSYS Workbench automatically saves the mesh and updates the Project Schematic accordingly. The Refresh Required icon in the Mesh cell has been replaced by a check mark, indicating that there is a mesh now associated with the fluid flow analysis system. 6. View the list of files generated by ANSYS Workbench. View → Files Figure 1.15 ANSYS Workbench Files View for the Project After Mesh Creation Note the addition of the mesh files (FFF.msh and FFF.mshdb) to the list of files. The FFF.msh file is created when you update the mesh, and the FFF.mshdb file is generated when you close the ANSYS Meshing application. 1.4.5. Step 4: Setting Up the CFD Simulation in ANSYS FLUENT Now that you have created a computational mesh for the elbow geometry, in this step you will set up a CFD analysis using ANSYS FLUENT, then review the list of files generated by ANSYS Workbench. 1. Start ANSYS FLUENT. 26 In the ANSYS Workbench Project Schematic, double-click the Setup cell in the elbow fluid flow analysis system. You can also right-click the Setup cell to display the context menu where you can select the Edit... option. When ANSYS FLUENT is first started, the FLUENT Launcher is displayed, enabling you to view and/or set certain ANSYS FLUENT start-up options. Release 14.0 - © SAS IP, Inc.
