Starting CFX/CFD POST through MATLAB on Windows

cfd seeker · May 8, 2015, 06:25

Hello everyone

I am supposed to do a postprocssing of large amount of CFD data generated by CFX. To save time I have recorded a session file for post-procssing in CFD Post(to be used for other cases also) and have written a MATLAB code which does following:

1) Start CFD-Post
2) Load .res file
3) Load .cse file

I used following command in MATLAB to execute above tasks.
status=system('cd /ansys_inc/v145/CFD-Post/bin/');

This works fine in Linux but this command is not working when i am using the same MATLAB code to call CFD POST on Windows system. Any body knows the reason? and how to fix this problem. Any help is appreciated.

The path is different on windows. C:\Program Files\ANSYS\V145\CFD-Post\bin\ or something like that.

Thanks for your help.

The following command is used to load the session file:
status=system('&cfdpost -session result_session_file.cse');

Is this command also works on Windows to load the session file? or there is a seperate command for Windows platform?
