[FAQ]

The user can change default values in CFD-Post to customize it as desired. For example, changing the Default Number of Contours from 11 to 20, or changing the Default Range choice from Global to Local. These default choices can be changed in the file below:
[PATH]ANSYS IncvAAACFD-PostetcCFXPostRules.ccl
where [PATH] represents the path where Ansys Tools are installed and vAAA represents the number of the Ansys Version (for example v195, v201, etc). It is recommended to always keep the original file, renaming it as CFXPostRules_old.ccl.
Any value in the file CFXPostRules.ccl can be changed, editing the file in a Text Editor (for example Notepad++). A search by keywords is helpful. For example: Legend Values Format:
PARAMETER: Legend Format
Parameter Type = String
Local Type = colour
Default = %3.0f # instead of %10.3e to change as Fixed and 0 decimal
Description = Parameter to modify string format of values on legend.
END

Number of Contours:
PARAMETER: Number of Contours
Parameter Type = Integer
Local Type = colour
Default = 20 # instead of default 11.
Description = Specifies number of contour lines in a contour plot.
END
It is necessary to save the file changes, and to re-open CFD-Post to update it.
