Dear all
I want to know how I can export my data grid from ANSYS (FEM) to another CFD software ?
pleasea help me m as soon as possible

Hi aerobanakar,

If you choose to export like .cdb export from ANSYS, maybe you can to import the mesh in other solve like CFD. I'm not sure, but try, and posted here if it works.

Best regards.

hey banakar,
i am also trying to map cfd data to fea...have u figured out any methods?
thank you

follow this procedure:

-Open ansys workbench..
-set up any fluent case on workbench GUI
-at the same time, set up a structural analysis on the same screen. Read your mesh data for ansys meshing and built it.
-connect the solution data from fluent with FEM, which are placed on workbench.
- Start Mechanical FEM by selecting the FEM case.

External Data Mapping
When results are to be shared between physics, standard practice is to import data, such as pressure fields, temperatures or heat exchange coefficients, from external files. Automated algorithms provide a very efficient tool to project the data from one mesh to another. However, some problems can arise in cases of misalignment between the original data and the current mesh, or when the initial data is too scarce. The capabilities introduced at ANSYS release 13.0 have been enhanced to provide users with additional control and correction capabilities in ANSYS 14.0.

thanks for your reply emreg. but in my company we are using mechanical apdl as the solver not workbench so i cant follow the above procedure...And i am getting heatflux (temperature dependent data) from CFD group and giving temperature values for thermostructural group... CFD software used is FLUENT only..is there any way to apply CFD loads directly...

thanks
