Industry Solutions

nnnn

Powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics Software

nnnn

for Process and Product Design Optimization

nnnn

For more than 20 years, companies around the world have trusted

nnnn

ANSYS CFX technology to provide reliable and powerful computational

nnnn

fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions. ANSYS CFX combines advanced solver tech-

nnnn

nology with a modern user interface and an adaptive architecture to make

nnnn

CFD accessible to both designers with general engineering knowledge and

nnnn

fluid dynamics specialists requiring in-depth model control and options.

nnnn

It is used in a vast array of industries to provide detailed insight into

nnnn

equipment and processes that increase efficiency, improve product

nnnn

longevity and optimize processes.

nnnn

ANSYS CFX and the ANSYS Workbench Environment

nnnn

ANSYS CFX software is fully integrated into the ANSYS® Workbench™

nnnn

environment, the framework for the full suite of engineering simulation

nnnn

solutions from ANSYS. Its adaptive architecture enables users to easily

nnnn

set up anything from standard fluid flow analyses to complex interacting

nnnn

systems with simple drag-and-drop operations. Users can easily assess

nnnn

performance at multiple design points or compare several alternative

nnnn

designs. Within the ANSYS Workbench environment, applications from

nnnn

multiple simulation disciplines can access tools common to all, such as

nnnn

geometry and meshing tools.

nnnn

Geometry: ANSYS® DesignModeler™ software is specifically designed for

nnnn

the creation and preparation of geometry for simulation. Its easy-to-use,

nnnn

fully parametric environment with direct, bidirectional links to all leading

nnnn

CAD packages acts as the geometry portal for all ANSYS products to

nnnn

provide a consistent geometry source for all engineering simulations.

nnnn

Meshing: Providing accurate CFD results requires superior meshing

nnnn

technology. ANSYS Meshing provides a multitude of meshing technologies

nnnn

in a single application to allow users to select the best option on a part-

nnnn

by-part basis. ANSYS® ICEM CFD™ meshing tools also are available

nnnn

and include unlimited mesh editing capabilities as well as structured

nnnn

hexahedral meshing.

nnnn

CFD Pre-Processing in CFX-Pre

nnnn

The ANSYS CFX physics pre-processor is a modern and intuitive

nnnn

interface for the setup of CFD analyses. In addition to a general mode

nnnn

of operation, predefined wizards are available to guide users through the

nnnn

setup of common fluid flow simulations. A powerful expression language

nnnn

gives users the ability to customize their problem definition in numerous

nnnn

ways, such as with complex boundary conditions, proprietary material

nnnn

models or additional transport equations. The adaptive architecture of

nnnn

CFX-Pre even allows users to create their own custom GUI panels to

nnnn

standardize input for selected applications, and thereby ensure adherence

nnnn

to established best practices
