Mapping Project Page

The following project schematic illustrates one-way load mapping from FLUENT to Mechanical.

External Data Method

New at R13 is the ability to import loads from ANSYS tools, third party software, or even user defined loading. The loading needs to be in a delimited format, i.e. Excel .csv file. The data is entered using an External Data component system from the project schematic and then linked to the appropriate analysis. In the below example, pressures loads were extracted from FLLUENT and mapped to the Mechanical model. The next slide illustrates the external data setup.
