Workbench Fluent save every DP in Legacy format

CFDger · April 20, 2023, 04:44

Hello,

I am running multiple Design Points within the Workbench with Fluent. I want each Design Point to be saved in Legacy format (in order to get access to all variables in CFD-Post, which I believe I don't get writing in CFF format, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Setting the Setup in the Fluent Block within the Workbench up via: File -> Preferences -> Default Format for I/O -> Legacy
.. I receive this error:

"C:\Users\myname.
A subdirectory or file with the name "myname\.fluentconf" already exists.
The following error occurred: myname\.fluentconf."

i already deleted that file and the Ansys folder in the Appdata directory...

Any help on this is highly appreaciated!

Update: This way (even though the error appears) I can actually save the file of that specific (current) design point in the legacy format.

When I update other Design Points they are then unfortunately saved in CFF format again. As a restult in CFD-Post I can't access variables such as the mach number etc...
