Hi Alizakidd, Can you please provide me your Caeses project file, together with the fsc you are using? Please be sure that you are using the latest Ansys Workbench App provided within your Caeses installation folder; if you are using Windows and used the suggested path, it should be under "C:\Program Files (x86)\FRIENDSHIP-SYSTEMS\CAESES5\etc\integration\ansys" Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Aniepark, Please find attached a simple example that may help you. Cheers Ceyhan excel_write_objectData.cdb

Hi Praveen, Can you please be sure that your fsc file is up to date and the project saved. After this check, if you still face the same problem, can you please provide me your project file? You can send the file to erdem@friendship-systems.com. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Praveen, I will suggest we have a web-meeting. Please write to "erdem@friendship-systems.com" about your availibility for the upcoming days. To be honest, it is been a while since the development of the CAESES integration of Optislang and I am not sure about its compatibility with the new versions of Optislang. But I guess, we can resolve the issue directly through Ansys Workbench. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Praveen, Do you still face the same problem? Is it possible that somehow mistakenly you have assigned the same domain color to a boundary? Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Praveen, If you are using SpaceClaim as your default geometry editor in Ansys Workbench, you need to disable the "Use SpaceClaim Color Tones" option. It is mentioned in the CAESES Workbench App Tutorial. Please revise the mentioned tutorial and repeat your process. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Praveen, Please revise the tutorial for the ACT Connection. Within the mentioned document, it should clearly mention that, if SpaceClaim is your default geometry editor you beforehand have to open SpaceClaim and under options unselect the option "Use SpaceClaim Color Tones". Once this little procedure is completed, you can create and start the ACT procedure. Also, as mentioned within the tutorial, if SpaceClaim is your default geometry editor, please do not forget to assign a color to your BREp geometries. This will serve as named selection/s assigned to your domains. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi TomasJ, Please use the attached ACT App. This is an updated version for Ansys 2024R2. Cheers Ceyhan CAESES_Workbench_App_23_09_2024_v2.wbex

Hi Saji, I will recommend you go through the Caeses SoftwareConnector Tutorials. You are trying to run SpaceClaim however there is no mention of your script file. Maybe you would like to create a .bat file where the commands to run Spaceclaim (in with no gui maybe) using your script file. And then assigning that .bat file as your executable. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Saji, Sure. You only need to create your Fluent script file in TUI. Then provide those files to SoftwareConnector. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Saji, Sure, I will create some guideline and post here on the next days. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Saji, Caeses Workbench App works as a geometry provider within the Ansys Workbench Environment. So if you are planning to use the Ansys Workbench gui, then you are not able to benefit from the Caeses optimization tools. On the other hand, you can embed your Ansys Workbench project inside Caeses through SoftwareConnector using the Caeses Workbench App. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi TomasJ, Sounds weird. In my case it is working fine. Can you please provide your availability for a web-meeting? You can write to erdem@friendship-systems.com Cheers Ceyhan

Hi TomasJ, Can you please let me know where you got the ACT App? Can you please use the one provided with the Caeses installation files? You can find it under; <Caeses Installation Folder>/CAESES5/etc/ansys Your fsc file and setup seems to be fine. In my computers, after recreating the fsc file, it works flawlessly. However a Caeses crash during fsc reading seems to be the main cause, hence no geometry file is created. I believe the geometry file inside the Input folder is not a contemporary one. Can you please provide me the information of your operating system and Caeses version? Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, I have sent you back your revised model. There were several errors in your setup. Also you did not even use the feature that I have provided earlier. I will suggest you to go over the Workbench Connection Tutorial in detail and in case you are using 2D geometry, utilize the feature definition I have provided earlier. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, There must be an error in your setup. Can you please provide me your Caeses project file, fsc file together with your Ansys project file. You can send them to erdem@friendship-systems.com. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, Glad that it worked. Please remember that due to changes in design, your BRep Edge numbers may change as well. Creating an inconsistency and hence failure to assign a color. You can use the attached simple Feature Definition where the user is expected to add the edges that will create the 2D geometry as input. Please assign the colors to the edges before adding to the list. The fature then will create a BRep using the provided edges and then assign those colors to the corresponding BRep edges. Cheers Ceyhan 2D_boundaries_forNamedSelection.fdf

Hi Cui, I was referring to trim the pointy tip which seems to be still there. I will suggest you to move to Caeses v5. You may have some errors which can be worked to make it compatible with v5. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi SIsi, I will suggest you to use DesignModeler in case you have a 2D body with assigned colors to the BRep. However if you are using SpaceClaim, the procedure is more complex requiring you to use a Feaure created in Caeses. I still need to work on the SpaceClaim code to make it work with 2D boundaries. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Cui, Looks like you are using Caeses v4. Is there a specific reason for not to upgrade to Caeses v5? The reason should be due to some errors on one of your BReps. I believe you have obtained the Body geometry by revolving a profile, which may lead to some problems. Can you please trim the end profile a bit and then use "Close Planar Holes" operation, well not sure if it exists in Caeses v4, or use some other way so that it is not that pointed anymore. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, I cannot recreate the problem. I will suggest we have a web-meeting to speed up the process. Please let me know when you may be available on the next days. Please keep in mind that we are using CET time zone. You can send your availability information to erdem@friendship-systems.com. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, Can you please let me know your Ansys version? Did you get the ACT App from the Caeses installation folder? Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, Can you let me know how you imported the parametric geometry into Ansys Workbench? You can name surfaces in Caeses by providing colors to the surfaces of interest which then will be transferred downstream. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake Smith, Can you please write me an email suggesting a timeframe so that we can arrange a web-meeting? Please keep in mind that we are located in GMT+2 time zone. I would like to observe the problem on your computer. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Stanley, So you have a section profile. You would like to locate 200 equidistant points on the profile, created in clock-wise direction. And then export those creted points as point data on a file, am I correct? Cheers Ceyhan
