Dear users,

I would like to animate the flow at different iterations (say, 100th,200th,500th etc.) So i saved *.bak (backup) files at different iterations. Now, How to make animation using these *.bak files.

I read in CFX-post manuals that animation is possible only in the particular *.bak/*.res files. But it does not deal with how to connect different files (*.bak/*.res) in a single animation.

Any suggestions are most welcome, thanx n advance.

Post doesn't give high quality animation anyway. I suggest you to load these bak files and then output your results in png format. After you have done this, use external software to create animation. I remember an old post by Michael Bo Hansen that give detailed info about how to do that. Try searching for ANSYS CFX community forum....I'm pretty sure he had posted a pdf link before.

Do you unnderstand correctly that you what to make an animation from steady state simulation?

If the solution doesn't change with iteration loop, you will see no change in animation anyway.

yup there is a way to connect different .res files in one animation.Need some time to refresh my memory as iam not working CFX any more.... Regards Rajit
