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:<br \/> [PATH]ANSYS IncvAAACFD-PostetcCFXPostRules.ccl <br \/> 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. <br \/>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.
