Default 2D Mesh Generation and Analysis

Hi,

I am trying to do a 2D analysis of a wing structure of aircraft. The wing structure itself is a cross-flow fan with a modified housing.

I have set environmental variable CFX2D_Mesh=1. For now i am trying only a simple bounding box. I created rectangular domain with 2400x1600 dimensions and 3mm thickness. I have given inlet with velocity, outlet as opening with 0 static pressure. upper and lower surfaces as walls with free slip. two side faces as periodic boundary pair. mesh edge length=3mm(which is thickness) so that only one element thick mesh is produced. I tried with more and less values for mesh edge length as well and i get the same error as below. i could generate surface mesh but when i say write def problem starts.

I couldnt write the definition file after the creation of mesh. it gives error like this:

--------------------------------------------------- Error reported from application CFX-Build 5

Error during the creation of the Definition File. openfile: the file cfx5.def is being locked or the wrong lock file cfx5.def.lck exists

iocnt: open the primary file failed

Call to IOCNTF failed from DEFCTL! Action requested was OPEN. IERR = 21 STOP called from routine DEFCTL -----------------------------------------------------

Can pls somebody tell me what this is.. I am not able to understand or make out anything.

Thanks in advance.

Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,

I assume you are using CFX-Build.

1) To activate the 2D mesher in CFX-Build, your environment variable "CFX2D_Mesh" is incorrect. What you have set will not do anything. What you should have set was "CFX5_2D_MESH" and give it the value "TRUE".

2) To stop the error about the lock file, just delete the offending lock file (here that is cfx5.def.lck) and do it again. Make sure that nothing else is writing to the file when you do this, of course - safest to close all other CFX applications before you do this.
