Using Iota with ANSYS-Fluent

The following format of ANSYS-Fluent simulation data can be imported and post-process using Iota:

• .cas and .dat files.

• .cas.h5 and .dat.h5 files.

• .cas.gz and .dat.gz files.

Importing a ANSYS-Fluent datasets into Iota

Users can import a ANSYS-Fluent simulation into an existing scenario by using the Import Dataset window (see Figure 75) that is available after clicking the Import button available at the Datasets accordion:

1. Name: provide a name for the ANSYS-Fluent dataset (Optional). If none name is provided, Iota will automatically use the name of the ANSYS-Fluent files to name the dataset.

2. Description: Users can provide a description for the dataset (Optional).

3. Scenario: it indicates that scenario where the dataset will be imported.

4. Case file/s: it allows users to select the Case file/s of the ANSYS-Fluent data to be imported.

5. Data file/s: it allows users to select the Data file/s of the ANSYS-Fluent data to be imported.

After clicking on Accept, the importing process is started and users can follow the progress of the importing process in the progress monitor located at the bottom right corner of the window. Once the new ANSYS-Fluent dataset has been imported and it will be available in the Datasets accordion. Then, users can load their new dataset into Post page to visualize and analyze the simulation results.
