theakash07 / Fusion360-ANSYS-Designs

This repository is a collection of my work in 3D modeling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The designs are created using Fusion360 and the simulations are conducted on ANSYS. The aim is to showcase my skills and progress in these areas. Feel free to explore and provide feedback.

automated transfer of new design version to Ansys #1

Hello,

I have great interest in your project and really like what you have done. I am facing the problem of simulating one model with different parameter settings in Ansys Fluent. In the project, the different versions of the design should automatically be meshed and simulated with my settings.

I have already tried using the DesignModeler and the parameter tool in Ansys. In general, it works fine, but the DesignModeler is not as powerful as Fusion 360. The problem I am facing is how to automatically transfer the new design to Ansys, mesh it, simulate it, and then use the next parameter setting and repeat the process until my maximum value is reached.

In my mind, there is one way to solve this: generating the different models in Fusion 360 manually with the tool "Configuration Table" and then handing them over to Ansys. After that, creating a code to load the next design in Ansys and perform the simulation again. However, when trying to load the next parameter variation into Ansys manually, the mesher failed to detect the previously defined faces. Manually redefining the faces takes too much time since I want to simulate around 100 parameter settings.

My question is: I have read that you have different versions of your design and simulated them again. How did you automate this process, since my mesher can't find the previously defined faces?

Greetings, Jonas

ANSYS is not smart enough to automatically mesh the design you will upload will proper feature, so even if you write the code somehow to automate the import of external geometry, you will get error since changing the design will require manual inputs. only thing you can put to parameters is the element size and other numerical attributes. some companies use dedicated software that are smart enough to evaluate and mesh design accordingly on their own. Hope it will help...

Hey, thank you! I assumed it is like that. So then I'll choose the way via Design Modeler. Have a great day!
