ANSA for CFD Quick Start Guide
1. Introduction
This document is a compressed summary of ANSA's functionality for CFD and describes some important
steps/points that are useful for the creation of a CFD model. As CFD models tend to increase in size,
ensure that you are using the 64bit version of the code to take full advantage of all your hardware’s
memory. Start ANSA as follows:
/<installation_path>/ansa_v13.2.2/ansa64.sh for Linux, or ./ansa64.bat for Windows
This will open the ANSA launcher window:
Startup mode selection
Option to start a new custom user defined
mode based on the above selected one
Specification of additional start up
arguments and commands (press
the ? button to list them)
Option to skip the launcher and always
start with the current options
Select the CFD mode and press OK. The CFD mode of ANSA is customized with respect to the interface
and also the actual functionality (mesh parameters, quality criteria etc) so that it performs best for CFD
pre-processing tasks. It is therefore highly recommended to use this mode of ANSA for your work.
Note: if the launcher does not appear (due to special installation issues in your company)
you can impose directly the start-up of ANSA in CFD mode by adding the argument -gui CFD , for
example in Linux:
/<installation_path>/ansa_v13.2.2/ansa64.sh -gui CFD

This will ensure that ANSA starts with a default interface tuned for CFD preprocessing, as shown below:
2. Access to:
-Batch mesh
-Part Manager
-PID list
-SET list
-Database browser
-Mesh Parameters
-Quality Criteria
-Measure tool
-Settings
1. Access to Help
3. MENU
buttons
Group Name
4. Group of
Functions
5. Options
window
7. Geometry and
D.UTIL Groups
6. View
modes
8. FOCUS
commands
9.Message line and
ANSA Info window
Note that this customization does not refer only to the interface and button positions, but also to all tuning
parameters that affect the algorithms and performance of the software for the common CFD tasks!
1. Access to Help: html Online-Help and all PDF documentation.
2. Access to:
Batch Mesh for meshing automation
Part Manager for model organization through Groups, sub-assemblies and Parts
PIDs for management of Properties of the model
SETs for managemrnt of SET (groups of ANSA entities like elements, properties, Faces etc)
Database Browser for access to the contents of the Database and Filters for model management
Mesh Parameters for controlling the meshing algorithms and quality improvement
Quality Criteria for setting quality criteria and threshold values and settings Presentation
Parameters
Measure tool to make measurements of the model
Settings for settings and customization for Functionality and GUI, correspondingly saved in
CFD.defaults and CFD.xml files in your home directory under
<homedir> /.BETA/ANSA/version_v13.2.2/
3. Switch between the main menus of
TOPO for geometry creation, manipulation, cleanup and watertight preparation
MESH for surface and volume mesh and fix
DECK for solver related features and the creation of Size Boxes for controlling mesh size
MORPH for mesh and geometry morphing
HEXABLOCK for hexa meshing based on block structure of boxes
4. The functions are arranged in Groups, depending on the Entity that they are applicable to. Some
additional functions that may exist in the buffer menu (hidden) can be accessed by clicking on the Group
Name with the left mouse button.
5. The Options window displays all the settings of the currently Active function.
6. These flag buttons control the visibility mode of the model, in the form of flags or toggle buttons like
coloring the model in ENT (Entity) or PID (Property ID), or SHADOW or WIRE mode etc. In addition, there
are visibility flag buttons for different Entities.
7. Access to Transformations (translate, copy, move etc), model Checks and Information.
8. The FOCUS group contains all the functions that are used to isolate and control the visibility of
selected entities in order to obtain a clear image of the working area of the model.
9. Instructions and reporting of the program are printed in the message line and the ANSA info window.
