Copying the CAS and CDAT Files

Sample files are provided so that you can begin using CFD-Post immediately. You may find sample files in a variety of places, depending on which products you have:

• If you have CFD-Post or ANSYS CFX, sample files are in <CFXROOT> $\backslash$ examples, where <CFXROOT> is the installation directory for ANSYS CFX. Copy the CASE and CDAT files ( elbow1.cas.gz, elbow1.cdat.gz, elbow3.cas.gz, and elbow3.cdat.gz) to your working directory.

• If you have ANSYS FLUENT 12:

  1.   Download cfd-post-elbow.zip from the User Services Center (www.fluentusers.com) to your working directory. This file can be found by using the Documentation link on the FLUENT product page.

  2.   Extract the CAS files and CDAT files ( elbow1.cas.gz, elbow1.dat.gz,
  elbow3.cas.gz, and elbow3.dat.gz) from cfd-post-elbow.zip to your working directory.

  Note:   

  • These tutorials are prepared on a Windows system. The screen shots and graphic images in the tutorials may be slightly different than the appearance on your system, depending on the operating system or graphics card.

  • The case name is derived from the name of the results file that you load with the final extension removed. Thus, if you load elbow1.cdat.gz the case name will be elbow1.cdat; if you load elbow1.cdat, the case name will be elbow1. The case names used in this tutorial are elbow1 and elbow3.
