Importing UGX NX Cad Models intoFLUENT software

Active.Aero.Fiero · October 7, 2010, 20:22

Hi all,

I am a 4th year automotive engineering student who is trying to run an aerodynamics simulation of a rear spoiler shape in FLUENT. I have modeled the spoiler in NX 7.5 and it is a 3D solid shape. I wish to find a way to import this model into FLUENT and run simulations to determine the amount of drag and downforce that will be produced at different angle's of attack.

The problem that we are having is finding the correct export type that FLUENT will be compatible with.

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance

The only thing that feels better than making a really cool tutorial, design or article, is sharing it with others that will really benefit by it.

Hello, which the best procedure to create the simulation domain, starting from a NX cad file to solve the fluid case with CFX?
