How do you increase mesh quality in ANSYS Workbench?

5 Tips on How To Create a Better Mesh

1. A Simplified and Clean Watertight Geometry.
2. Deciding and Maintaining a Good General Grid Size.
3. Increasing Mesh Fineness at Critical Areas.
4. Boundary-Layer Refinement and Y+
5. Mesh Convergence Study.

Can ANSYS open IGES?

The model geometry should cleanly import into ANSYS. If not, try clearing your session, and re-importing with different options. Below is the final ANSYS mesh of the model after we’d picked an element type and used the meshtool to generate the mesh.

What does IGES stand for?

Initial Graphics Exchange Specification
The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) is a vendor-neutral file format that allows the digital exchange of information among computer-aided design (CAD) systems.

Can ANSYS open STP files?

yes you can by saving file as stp, step or extension of parts so you can use by solid works and save it in solid works to work with it in ansys.

Which are the limitations of IGES?

21 Disadvantages of IGES IGES file does not have a formal information model. Problems occur during file exchanges and manipulations. Hard to understand file formats. IGES does not support life cycle information which may be relevant for engineering applications other than design.

Is there a difference between Ansys Mesher and designmodeler geometry?

After doing some investigation and simple scenarios in DesignModeler and Ansys Mesher, it seems that the two formats don’t have to much of difference. The geometry imported into DesignModeler from either an IGES file or STEP file seems to be identical.

How to separate a mesh by isovalue in fluent?

In ANSYS Fluent you can define a region by an Isovolume. Just select “Adapt >> Isovalue”. In the next step, you can separate the mesh by this new region. Now you have two possibilities. You can write a case file and import it to ICEM CFD or you can switch to fluent meshing an export an msh file there.

Should I use IGES or solid meshing for this analysis?

For analysis purpose (I assume you mean FEA with that) you will use IGES as you don’t need solids/volumes there. Solid meshing takes more time and makes the analysis complex and time consuming. Its a normal practice to generate mid-surface for solid parts before analysis and then define thickness of this surface during analysis in the parameters.

What is the difference between IGES and STEP files in designmodeler?

The geometry imported into DesignModeler from either an IGES file or STEP file seems to be identical. I did notice that more bodies (surface bodies and volume bodies) are created after an IGES import whereas only a single volume body is generated with a STEP file.
