results visualisation of parametric design point analysis

Kayser.Motorsport · April 26, 2016, 08:28

Hello,

at the moment I am analysing the slot geometry of a dual-element wing. Therefore I parameterised the slot geometry and did several runs. Now I'd like to check on each of the results independently in terms of velocity and pressure contours and cp- plot etc. The problem though, I can't find the option where to switch between the design points results. I can reach only the baseline simulation.

I'd appreciate any quick help!

BTW: I am using Ansys 14.5

Cheers,
Tim

Just read the data file. You should have saved individual data files for each condition...

Thanks LuckyTran. Unfortunately looking into the folder I can't find any additional .wbpj files in the of the run, where I computed several design parameters. What do these files look like (file format) and what do I need to set in the Solution Setting in order to receive these additional files?

There's a .cas file and .dat file. You want the .dat file. Go into Fluent, file read-data or read case and data.

The .wbpj is a workbench project file, which is sort of the workbench equivalent of a .cas file (except a .cas file contains a mesh). The .wbpj file is pretty useless.

Perfect. Thanks a lot for your info!
