It is also scriptable and can be run in batch for process automation. But because CFX supports moving meshes and conjugate heat transfer, it has most things that you need to read and post process an FEA result. So the terminology is defiantly oriented towards CFD users. It is a CFD post processor and you can use it to post CFX, FLUENT, FIDAP, TASKFLOW and the general CGNS files that most CFD tools create. Maybe I think like a Torontonian or something, but no matter how long it has been since I’ve used it, I can jump right in and figure out what needs to be done. As a long time ANSYS MAPDL bigot I have to say, and this is a very difficult admission, CFD Post is a a very nice post processor. ANSYS CFD PostĬFX Post has been generalized and renamed as CFD Post. So, I figure the best way to remember is to store it for posterity bouncing through the tubes of the interweb as a blog posting. I then promptly forgot about it till I was reading the thread. I of course pretended that I knew all about it and “just didn’t have time to play with it yet.” The next time I had time at my desk I looked it up and there it was, under File->Load Results you can set the “Files of Type” drop down to read a whole slew of ANSYS Mechanical and MAPDL files: once asked if we used CFX Post to post process our FEA results. Check out the thread (go to XANSYS and search on animation) and you can see some of the options suggested.Īs I was reading the thread I remembered that one of the CFD guys from ANSYS, Inc. You can write a macro that creates PNG files that you can then string together into an AVI, WMV, MOOV or animated gif file. Now they are a bit limited and the AVI file it creates uses a codec that are a bit old. If you are an MAPDL user you know that the animation tools found there were actually way ahead of their time… in 2001. The other day there was a thread on XANSYS about the best way to create animations in ANSYS Mechanical APDL (MAPDL).
