bond · December 30, 2009, 04:27

pls tell me, how can i assign two different fluids in CFX-Pre seperately for two domains. like water and oil. water domain and oil domains are seperate with seperate inlet and outlets......????

Hi,
The easiest method to use different fluids in different domains is by enabling the Beta features of CFX.
In the CFX-Pre window go to Edit/Options, in the options table select CFX-Pre and activate Enable Beta Features and click Ok.
Now go to the simulation tree and right click on Simulation then disable Constant Domain Physics. Finally you can select the desired fluid for each domain.

I have the same problem, but in my CFX version 10.0 I can't find these commands.
Help me!

In older versions you need to set the environment variable "CFX5_NO_CONSTANT_PHYSICS = T"

Hi Stumpy,

Click on "START" then Settings then open Control Panel
Click the System icon
Go to the Advanced panel
Click the Environment Variables button
Select the "new" button to create a new environment variable
The value of "VARIABLE NAME " should be

CFX5_NO_CONSTANT_PHYSICS
7. The value of "VARIABLE VALUE" should be

T
Click on "OK" then Restart system

HI everyone,

I have a similar problem.
I have two fluids: air and oil
As discussed above I activated Enable Beta Features and disabled Constant Domain Physics.
It changed at first but when I closed and reopened the simulation again, its not working.
I checked options again but it is set to enable beta and disable physics now.
I m not able to get different fluid in different domain.
Plz help

ps: m working on (Ansys 13,windows server2008)

Not only disable constant domain in edit/option
but also disable it in outline/case option/general
