I am using the Ansys Fluent Aero package and high performance computing clusters to run a set of simulations for a number of different conditions such as velocities and pitch angles. What is the most efficient way to test all these different points? 

many thanks

Depending on set up you may find using interpolation files to work well where the geometry changes. Otherwise, I'd run for a single speed & converge, then write case & data. Change the boundary condition, do NOT initialise and run more iterations, save new case & data etc.  By starting from a good solution, albeit for a different flow speed or angle, the number of iterations required is typially lower than when starting from an initialised condition.
