reading Promixus mesh file in CFX 4

January 10, 2002, 03:41

Hi all

When you run a CFX-promixus simulation with "expert" option, it is said that this will generate file (mesh file) that can be read modify, handle in CFX. I've run an expert simulation, with CFX-promixus on my PC, I have different files but how cn I open and handle them in CFX. I'm using CFX on unix and Promixus on PC.

When you run a CFX-Promixus Simulation With "expert" option, You can get mesh file CFX4.GRD, command file *.cmd, Just change the file name and copy it to your CFX working directory, and you can use it.

Interesting, but what do you get, a .db-format or a .geo-format.

Just change the name? and the extension? More I need to mention that I'm running promixus on Windons and cfx is on unix. Should I do as you said?

You should tranfer your files through a ftp from the PC to UNIX. Don't forget to transfer in binary files mode.
