PyAnsys

Automating Ansys Fluent CFD simulations

The code is currently for the 2024 Rocket, Borealis. A lot of parameters are custom-set. Using this software for other simulations is not recommended until some documentation is written.

Requirements

1. Working installation of Ansys Fluent
2. Python (Developed on 3.9)

Setup

1. git clone https://github.com/waterloo-rocketry/PyAnsys.git
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Place your mesh file(s) in PyFluent/mesh/
4. Setup configurations by modifying csv files in PyFluent/configs/ folder (no need to edit variable_configs.csv)
5. Add all input cases into inputs.csv
6. python main.py
7. Results should appear in outputs.csv alongside contours and transcripts in Logs/alt-vel-aoa/
