ICEM 10 mesh scale foe CFX

October 7, 2005, 00:54

I tried to use workbench 10 to transfer geometry model to ICEM, produced the mesh in ICEM and obtained the output from ICEM for CFX. But in Workbench and ICEM the units are MM, while CFX thinks the model dimentions are in Meters.

I tried to use scale while output to ANSYS CFX in ICEM, but had no sucsess. It looks like there is an error in output procedure in ICEM. Now we obtain the original CFX "gtm" file, and no choice of units in CFX Pre

Could anybody help me? Thnk you.

In CFX-Pre, after you bring in your mesh, you can scale it with a factor of 0.001.

This a bug with the ICEM CFD export to GTM. ICEM CFD 10.0 will always write the units as meters. You can scale the mesh in Pre after the import.
