1.3.2 Creating FLUENT-Based Component Systems

Similarly, you can create a FLUENT-based component system in Workbench by double-clicking FLUENT under Component Systems.

You can also create a FLUENT component system by left-clicking on FLUENT under Component Systems in the Toolbox, and then dragging it onto the Project Schematic.

Figure 1.3.3: Selecting the FLUENT Component System in Workbench

The new FLUENT component system appears in the Project Schematic as a box containing two cells: the Setup cell and the Solution cell (Figure  1.3.4). The Setup and Solution cells in a FLUENT component system work in the same manner as described above for the Fluid Flow (FLUENT) analysis system. The only difference is that the mesh must originate from a file imported into the Setup cell or the FLUENT application, or it must be provided through a connection from an upstream system.
