Hello everyone I built a parametric propeller model using Caeses and imported it into the Workbench platform, meshed it with Fluent Meshing, solved it with Fluent, and I had a problem with solving failures. I named the propeller surface "wall_prop" and selected all the wall_prop named faces in fluent to establish the output as thrust and moment. However, whenever the parameter points are changed and the mesh is updated, the original name will become wall_prop_1, wall_prop_2...... the original name will disappear, and the output torque and force will not automatically select the new name, resulting in the calculated thrust and torque being wrong or the software directly reporting an error. I don't know how to solve this problem so that the automated simulation can continue.

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."

Hello, I just finished creating the wing profile in the initial tutorial (FirstModelingSteps) and was trying to import it into Ansys Workbench to run a CFD simulation. I exported the project as an .fsc file as required by the add-in, but I am running into the following error: Update failed for the CAESES Geometry component in CAESES. User OnUpdate Callback Error:Local variable 'geoName' referenced before assignment. I have included the project file and a screenshot of the error message below. Could someone kindly point me in the right direction? Thanks! Matt FirstModelingSteps.fdbc
