Hi there!

Guys, I'm wondering where can I find ANSYS Fluent files for perfoming Flow through a combustor (combustor_12m) (Fluent 17, Windows) ?

I took a look into ANSYS Customer Portal (Home > Training & Support > Benchmarks > ANSYS Fluent Benchmarks) but found there only files for Fluent 16 and they're all undownloable...

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Sure they are "v16" but nothing prevents you from loading them in any newer version of Fluent.
If you can see the files, this means you are logged in as an Ansys customer and should be able to download them. Check your browser settings (adblock, noscript, popups etc.) or try a different browser.

Thank you! I tried other browser - now I'm able to download.

I'm sorry but I didn't get it: how can I load the specified benchmark for v17?

I am not sure if they have newer version of the benchmarks. These were to ones I used with Fluent v18.
The benchmarks are just cas and dat files. You can load them with newer versions of Fluent. Fluent v18 (or v17) can load cas files that were saved with v16. The other way round might not work.

flotus1, I'm sorry do you know how to get the benchmark results? I've downloaded the benchmark (cas + dat), calculated it but didn't find any output info showing benchmark results...

Type in "parallel timer usage" in the TUI. Without the quotation marks.

Sorry for my stupid questions. I'm totally a newbie in ANSYS and all I need is to get the benchmark results actually...

As far as I get I also can use flbench.bat for getting results, right?

Guys, please could you tell me is it possible to launch flbench.bat under Windows?? I need to get the "Core Solver Rating".

What I did:

1. Copied files aircraft_wing_2m.cas.gz and aircraft_wing_2m.dat.gz into c:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v172\fluent\ntbin\

2. Launched in cmd:

c:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v172\fluent\ntbin>flbench.bat fluent aircraft_wing_2m -v 3d -a win64 -path "c:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v172\fluent\ntbin\win64\"

but got on this:

Unxpected behaviour: Files\ANSYS.

I'm really tired of this... Could you tell me please what's my mistake?

Thank you!

P.S. I'm wondering is there an instruction how to finally launch it???

"core solver rating" instead of "benchmark results" as a keyword would have been helpful
IIRC, Ansys defines its core solver rating metric as the amount of runs per day with 25 iterations each. You can calculate it yourself from the timer output.
No idea how to batch-run the benchmarks in windows, sorry.
