Mesh Transfer to Fluent or CFX
• You can transfer mesh to Fluent or CFX.
• CFX (2d cases): extrude it one cell with 0.3
m thickness in z-direction. Axisymmetric:
revolve by one cell by 5 deg.
• CFX (2d cases): Export case file from fluent
and import into CFX (see tutorial on CFX
with Fluent mesh .msh).
