Hi. I have created an axial (hydro) turbine in BladeGen for a CFD analysis. In the analysis, am studying the impact of changing the blade pitch angle/stagger on power output at a fixed flow rate. My issues are two: the first one is that how do I actually calculate the initial required theta angle (wrap angle) if all i have are the 4 velocity triangle angles at inlet and outlet at a mean radius? Second, is that when I want to vary the pitch angle, how do I do that as there seems to be no slot for a stagger angle in BladeGen or how can I re-orient the blade to mimic a different pitch angle but yet keep the blade profile/camberline the same as for the reference/first designed blade?  I am using the angle/thickness mode as I don't understand what most of the angles are in the pressure/suction mode uin the initial dialog box

Hey everyone, I am new to HFSS, I am trying to simulate the behavior of taper transition for sma pad to cpwg structure. I have attached a female, through hole sma connector to my pre-existing structure and the behavior get's totally fucked when i add the imported sma model.

The structure works fine until I add the sma connector.

I have two ports, one on top of the imported sma connector model, the port is one the dielectric and the second port defined at the end of the cpwg. I have attached the images of the model and the graph below. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

The images below are structure without sma connector, structure with sma connector from wurth electronik and the response of the structure with sma connector respectively.

HI,

In discovery I set the length scale to "large" in order to model a large domain for my airfoil analysis. When I try to import this file into fluent meshing, the file has the attribute "millimeters" and the imported surface is only a 1000x1000 square (my domain si bigger). Instead, if I import a smaller geometry created using the length scale "standard" in discovery, the attribute in fluent meshing is "meters" (is correct). There is something that I can do in order to solve this problem?

Hi all,

I'm using 22R2 SpaceClaim to create a 3D model. In the process that I was using "pull" tool on a feature, SpaceClaim showed out a warning and the SpaceClaim shutdown. The file cannot be modified anymore with any operation as shown below. 

 Besides,  when I tried to find the autosave file to get recovery at an early stage,  but there is empty file in the autosave file directory. 

I tried to reboot the SpaceClaim and computer but it couldn't help. The corrupted file can be opened but cannot be edited, even show and hide is not functioned. 

 

Besides, I tried to open it in Discovery and it's shown below.  In the Discovery , the software also cannot worked. 

Anyone have any suggestions? I have worked on this model for a long time without saving it, I want to recover the work. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Regards

I am not seeing new designmodeler geometry when i right click on geometry tab in workbench in 2026 R1 version(not student verson). I have installed complete Fluid package. "agppi" increment is also not seen in license. Is it required to see & use design modeler or is it some installation issue?

Help with spltiing this generated beam , 

In this image, you can see 2 splits; one of them a previous student did it correctly , which iam trying to understand how did he do it 

The one on the left side I did it in Ansys Discovery; as you can see, splitting the generated beam causes many problems with sharing the object with the original beam. I used all types of splitting objects. But each time i split it, completly unshare it from the beam 

. Then sharing it back dont work as I hope. Could you help me work around this? i want to introduce damage to this beam the idea is want to crack this beam as in the right-side green line.  And run a random vibration simulation

はい、バージョン2025R2まではそうでした。

Discovery 2026R1からは、ファイルメニュー(三本線ボタン)＞設定　を開き、

ライセンスタブ＞ライセンスオプションでライセンス変更をすると、すぐさま反映され、ライセンスの取得・解放が行われます。

Hi Ansys Support Team,

I am currently designing a metasurface in the millimeter-wave frequency range using Ansys HFSS, and I am looking for an official guide, application note, or tutorial on unit cell simulations.

Could you please recommend a tutorial or documentation that explains how to properly set up and simulate a unit cell in HFSS? Specifically, I am looking for guidance on:

• Setting up appropriate boundary conditions and control over the unit cell replication/periodicity directions (e.g., Master-Slave / Periodic boundaries or Floquet ports).

• Setting and controlling the polarization and orientation of the $E$ and $H$ fields for the excitation.

• Extraction of relevant parameters (e.g., S-parameters, reflection/transmission phase response).

I would greatly appreciate any recommended resources or example HFSS project files, particularly tailored for millimeter-wave metasurface applications.

Best regards,

Dr. Daniel Rozban
