Case Study

In this edition of eNews we present a Case Study which involves the use of ANSYS CFX. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation have used the software to advance the state of the art in catheter and rotary pumps for cardiac patients. Click below to find out more.

Tips, Tutorials and Free Downloads

TOP TIP
Use *CREATE as a subroutine generator to automate repetitive procedures from an input file. For example:

*CREATE,UADD,MAC
ANSWER=ARG1+ARG2
*END
A=2
B=3
UADD,A,B
*STATUS,ANSWER

This also has the benefit of including all coding within one file.
