Using a Parameter Set with Fluent Meshing Workflow

ro_bb · July 5, 2019, 10:26

I wanna use the Fluent Meshing Workflow with Workbench instead of Ansys Meshing to generate my mesh.

In meshing mode the geometry is not taken from a geometry element, so I don't know how to use Parameter Sets. If I link the geometry to my Fluent (with Fluent Meshing) object I can see it in the Outline View, but in the workflow I'm still asked to import a geometry.

Is there a way to use the Parameter Set or do I have to use a UDF?

Thank you!

I found a way to use the Workbench with the watertight geometry workflow and SpaceClaim.

I had to activate the beta functionalities in the settings of Workspace and then connect the geometry box to the mesh of a Fluent Meshing box. Finally, I had to select the Mesh and activate "Use Workflow" in the properties of the mesh.
