nnnnANSYS® CFX
nnnnIndustry Solutions
nnnnPowerful Computational Fluid Dynamics Software
nnnnfor Process and Product Design Optimization
nnnnFor more than 20 years, companies around the world have trusted
nnnnANSYS CFX technology to provide reliable and powerful computational
nnnnfluid dynamics (CFD) solutions. ANSYS CFX combines advanced solver tech-
nnnnnology with a modern user interface and an adaptive architecture to make
nnnnCFD accessible to both designers with general engineering knowledge and
nnnnfluid dynamics specialists requiring in-depth model control and options.
nnnnIt is used in a vast array of industries to provide detailed insight into
nnnnequipment and processes that increase efficiency, improve product
nnnnlongevity and optimize processes.
nnnnANSYS CFX and the ANSYS Workbench Environment
nnnnANSYS CFX software is fully integrated into the ANSYS® Workbench™
nnnnenvironment, the framework for the full suite of engineering simulation
nnnnsolutions from ANSYS. Its adaptive architecture enables users to easily
nnnnset up anything from standard fluid flow analyses to complex interacting
nnnnsystems with simple drag-and-drop operations. Users can easily assess
nnnnperformance at multiple design points or compare several alternative
nnnndesigns. Within the ANSYS Workbench environment, applications from
nnnnmultiple simulation disciplines can access tools common to all, such as
nnnngeometry and meshing tools.
nnnnGeometry: ANSYS® DesignModeler™ software is specifically designed for
nnnnthe creation and preparation of geometry for simulation. Its easy-to-use,
nnnnfully parametric environment with direct, bidirectional links to all leading
nnnnCAD packages acts as the geometry portal for all ANSYS products to
nnnnprovide a consistent geometry source for all engineering simulations.
nnnnMeshing: Providing accurate CFD results requires superior meshing
nnnntechnology. ANSYS Meshing provides a multitude of meshing technologies
nnnnin a single application to allow users to select the best option on a part-
nnnnby-part basis. ANSYS® ICEM CFD™ meshing tools also are available
nnnnand include unlimited mesh editing capabilities as well as structured
nnnnhexahedral meshing.
nnnnCFD Pre-Processing in CFX-Pre
nnnnThe ANSYS CFX physics pre-processor is a modern and intuitive
nnnninterface for the setup of CFD analyses. In addition to a general mode
nnnnof operation, predefined wizards are available to guide users through the
nnnnsetup of common fluid flow simulations. A powerful expression language
nnnngives users the ability to customize their problem definition in numerous
nnnnways, such as with complex boundary conditions, proprietary material
nnnnmodels or additional transport equations. The adaptive architecture of
nnnnCFX-Pre even allows users to create their own custom GUI panels to
nnnnstandardize input for selected applications, and thereby ensure adherence
nnnnto established best practices
