Change from serial to parallel

Anna Tian · December 17, 2013, 14:49

Hi,

I choose 'serial' as my processing option when I first launch Fluent. Then later on, as I replaced the mesh, I'd like to change to 'parallel'. I'm wondering what is the easiest way to change to that. I didn't find the launch window any more after I come to the Fluent operation interface.

I guess you are using ansys workbench.
When clicking only once on the fluent module, you should see the option to "show fluent launcher at startup" or something similar. Check this tickbox.
Somewhere in the same region, you could also directly specify to launch fluent in parallel without the laucher showing up every time you open it.

click on set up in workbench, in properties activate the run-parallel check box and state the state the number processor
if you can't find properties menu then it file -properties
