How To ... ANSYS - Tutorials, Tips and Tricks

 In an earlier post, I presented how to configure CAE calculations using the GPU in Ansys Mechanical. Today I would like to show you how to configure the use of a graphics card in Ansys Fluent. First of all, you need to correctly configure the proportion of the use of the amount of CPU to GPU depending on the HPC license you have. How to properly use GPU in Ansys Fluent 

Supports are used to represent parts that are not present in the model but are interacting with it. Supports help truncate the domain, which helps in efficiently obtaining numerically accurate results without modeling parts of the geometry that are not of primary interest. There are different types of support available, among which you need to choose the appropriate one for your analysis. Here are some of the common types of supports and their explanations: - **Fixed Support**: This type of support constrains all the degrees of freedom of the selected entity (body, face, or edge). It means that the entity cannot move or rotate in any direction. Fixed support is equivalent to applying zero displacement to all directions. Fixed support is useful for modeling rigid connections or supports that do not allow any movement. For example, you can use fixed support to model a bolted joint or a clamped beam. - **Displacement Support**: This type of support specifies a zero or non-zero displacemen

 The error message Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR: invalid argument [1]: improper list means that there is a problem with the scheme code or the UDF (user-defined function) in your case or data file . Some possible solutions are: Save the case and data file and try to reopen it. Reset the Fluent Setup tab and try opening the mesh. Remesh the geometry and reopen in Fluent. Change the material definition from “Solid” to “Fluid” in Design Modeler. Change the transient to steady if you are using evaporation-condensation as the phase interaction mechanism. Check the syntax of your UDF and make sure it follows the new rules in Fluent 6.2.16 or later. I hope this helps you resolve the error.

After many analyzes, we come to the conclusion that each elaboration of the results looks similar (sometimes identical).  Then it's time to diversify our report with new indicators and charts.  Ansys postprocessing offers many possibilities.  First of all, we can display our output with different configurations of contours, velocity vectors or isosurfaces.
