Figure 1.29 Duplicating the Fluid Flow System
Figure 1.30 The Original Fluid Flow System and Its Duplicate
Note
Notice that in the duplicated system, the state of the Solution cell indicates that the
cell requires an update while the state of the Results cell indicates that the cell requires
attention. This is because when a system is duplicated, the case and data files are not
copied to the new system, therefore, the new system does not yet have solution data
associated with it.
2. Rename the duplicated system to new-elbow.
3. Save the elbow-workbench project in ANSYS Workbench.
1.4.8. Step 7: Changing the Geometry in ANSYS DesignModeler
Now that you have two separate, but equivalent, FLUENT-based fluid flow systems to work from, you
can make changes to the second system without impacting the original system. In this step, you will
make a slight alteration to the elbow geometry in ANSYS DesignModeler by changing the diameter of
the smaller inlet, then review the list of files generated by ANSYS Workbench.
1. Open ANSYS DesignModeler.
