missing variables in cfd post

umbsab988 · June 19, 2018, 12:33

hello,
I study cavitation with ansys and my results are very good, but when I open CFD-post I'm not able to see pressure and volume fraction because they don' t exist in the variables.
How it's possible ?? how can I resovle this problem?
thanks to everybody

Do you have any variables at all? Did you forget to load the .dat file?

It's not automatic? usually, in the monophase problems, when I open CFD-post, it loads all variables. it's very strange

Anyway I have the variables but not pressure and volume fraction. I have them in the postprocessor in fluent not in CFD-post

The variables which are saved to the data file can be changed at File > Data File Quantities... and the other variables available to export are under "Additional Quantities".
