Import geometry and pre-processing in pyfluent

TAGGED: , ,

      I wish to import a .stp geometry file into pyfluent, create an O shaped 3D domain and do some named selections. I can only find how to import geometry in meshing stage. Any help will be appreciated.

      Thank you all

      Hello, 

       

      This statement 'I wish to import a .stp geometry file into pyfluent' is in itself not appropriate. It is important to note that PyFluent, or PyAnsys, is not a standalone tool but rather a Python interface for interacting with Ansys products. It primarily facilitates communication with Ansys products in a Pythonic manner. However, for meshing, solving and post-processing, you have the APIs to interface with the Ansys Fluent session. But as a starting point, you would typically need to prepare the CAD separately and have it ready to be imported in Fluent meshing, via PyFluent interfacing.

      Thank you

      I have a CAD file but I wish to create named selections and make a domain as would be the case in designmodeler. Can this be done?

      Whatever is possible in Fluent Meshing, can be done through the PyFluent. Hence you may want to review the Fluent Meshing’s capabilities to check what works for you.
