Hello Everyone, I've tried my hands on CAESES+CFX integration and i think its worth sharing for those interested in using Ansys CFX. This was done with ICEMCFD as the mesh tool (rpl script file). The key files needed from CFX are the *.pre and *.cse. Ive attached a project file that shows how the integration was done. To run in batch mode, you'll need to call cfx5pre, cfx5solve and cfx5post executable( please check attachment). I've also attached a process workflow to describe how the integration works. To post process in CAESES, you can check the tutorials for more details. (C:\Program Files (x86)\FRIENDSHIP-SYSTEMS\CAESES\tutorials\01_getting_started\postprocessing.pdf).

Hi everybody, I recently tried my hands on integrating CAESES with fluent and i think its worth sharing for those who work with fluent and will like to use CAESES parametric models. Please find attached a copy of my project file. its a simple meta-surface elbow i designed with an ellipse curve.Functions for the "width and "height" of the curve are defined. you can have a look at how parameters are set from function curves. I used ICEMCFD as my meshing tool and Fluent as CFD solver. specific files such as the *.rpl and *.jou were used as input files( checkout the attachments). Absolute paths should be changed to relative paths via "getdesigndir()...." (not all paths are necessary!). A *.bat file, RunFluent.bat, was used to run both ICEMCFD and Fluent in batch mode. Snapshots, graphs etc from fluent can be included as results files for post processing. Details on post processing can be found in CAESES tutorials " getting started". You can have a look. Suggestions are welcome. Best regards, Richard "N.B: CAESES is one of the most powerful softwares for tight integration with CFD softwares for DoE and Optimization. All you need to know is to understand how your External CFD software handles its files to know exactly which input and result files to use. it must also have the capability of running in batch mode."
