Common questions

What is ICEM CFD?

What is ICEM CFD?

ICEM is a software developped by ICEM CFD engineering which provides sophisticated geometry tools for CAO, mesh generation, post-processing and mesh optimization tools. It is used for engineering applications such as computational fluid dynamics and structural analysis.

What is blocking in ICEM CFD?

blocking is for structured mesh. you start by one block you split it into more blocks so you can adapt all to your geometry.

What is meshing in ANSYS fluent?

Meshing is the process of turning irregular shapes into more recognizable volumes called “elements.” Before you start meshing, you must first upload a geometry or CAD model into, for example, Ansys Mechanical to begin the simulation process.

What is ICEM in Ansys?

ANSYS ICEM CFD is a popular proprietary software package which provides advanced geometry/mesh generation as well as mesh diagnostics and repair functions useful for in-depth analysis.

How do you import geometry into ICEM CFD?

Alternativly, you could open the file in DesignModeler (or ANSYS Meshing or ANSYS Simulation) do what ever editing you want and then save it. Then go to ICEM CFD => File => Worbench readers and click on the saved workbench project or its sub file and import the model that way.

What is an ICEM file?

An ICEM CFD project file contains the information necessary to manage the data files associated with your project. Tetin (*.tin) Contains geometry entities, material points, parts associations, and global and entity mesh sizes. Mesh (*.uns) Includes details of the line, shell, and volume mesh elements of the project.

How do you import ICEM mesh to CFX?

Re: Import Mesh from ICEM CFD to CFX solid works -> IGES file -> Import on ICEM CFD -> tab “Output”, choose Solver “ANSYS CFX” and Save as file. cfx5 -> CFX_pre -> open the new simulation -> open file with the mesh -> choose the unit in “mm” and ready!

How do you remove mesh from ICEM CFD?

In 1) Menu File, go to 2) Mesh and then to 3) Save Only Some Mesh as….. There select only the parts that you want to keep and save those parts as unique . uns-file. Then keep the geometry but close the current mesh (same menu) and open this unique .

What is the best meshing software?

  • How do I choose a mesh type?

    The meshing method can differ for each geometry to get reliable results. Usually, higher mesh element concentration is used near sharp corners or relatively smaller geometrical regions (see figure). Quadratic order meshing might be more accurate than linear order meshing.
