Pressure on mesh nodes data

mattyg88 · November 30, 2009, 12:54

Good afternoon,

I am a 3rd year MEng civil engineering student from the uk. I am currently working on my 30 credit project which is to design a contact mixing tank for wastewater treatment works.
The first part of my project is to generate the mesh of the tank and run a cfx simulation to determine the pressures on the walls of my mesh.
I have generated my geometry and mesh for the tank in ansys workbench, inputted the boundry and flow conditions in cfx -pre and ran it in cfx-solver. I have been told by my supervisor that my aim is to generate a text file with all the nodes of my mesh and the corresponding pressures acting on each node. I am finding it hard however to complete this final part and determine in cfx-post the pressures on each node of my mesh in a text file.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated, thanks for your time

If I were you I'd explore the export facility in post.
