ansys 18 solid volume fraction

marioleo · March 17, 2017, 10:03

Hi, i am working with ANSYS 18 and i found some difference between ansys 18 and ansys 17.2 . I am working with stirred vessels in ansys 18 and when i use the box RESULT after using the FLUENT ,i can not plot the solid.volume.fraction when i create a PLANE as i did with ansys 17.2. does anybody know how to plot the solid volume fraction in RESULTS of ansys 18 ?

thanks

Hi Marioleo,

did you solve the problem yet?

Hi JohannaC
I still can not solve it, do you have any suggestions?

Hey,

yes, actually it is not that complicated. You just have to autosave your data during your (transient?) simulation and there you have to choose "phase1/2.volumefraction" and whatever you want. (I saved it as "CFD-Postcompatible, ASCII")

Then you can import the files into CFD-Post (as it is explained there for example: Can I load FLUENT time mean data into CFD-Post?)
.. and finally you can display it :-)

(maybe its not the simplest solution but it works

)

CFD post V18 does not automatically read or import multiphase results from simulation. You will have to manually export multiphase results to CFD post using Export to CFD post option.
