FSI problem , Help needed for my basic questions

kmgraju · February 20, 2011, 04:23

Hi
I am doing Two way FSI problem.

Can you please provide the steps from the development of the model to CFX post

My questions are very basic :

1. SHALL I DO CFX MESHING (.gtm) BEFORE DO THE ANSYS INPUT FILE (.inp)?

or

2. without doing CFX meshing(.gtm) can I do ANSYS input file (.inp)?

Note :In the Tutorial, it has written like the following

"The mesh is automatically generated as part of this process.If you want to examine it, select mesh from the tree"

Kindly help me for this basic questions

Regards

I m not an experienced user for CFX. I just start using ANSYS workbench to do FSI with CFX. The ".inp" file should include all the structual mechanical data required to solve the fluid flow. So I would assume you need to import the geometry/mesh into it to create the ".inp" mechanical model, which is considered as input for the fluid solver.

Correct me if I am wrong.
