Preparation

1.   Download dynamic_mesh.zip from the User Services Center to your working folder (as described in Tutorial  1).

2.   Unzip dynamic_mesh.zip.

  The files, valve.msh and valve.c can be found in the dynamic_mesh folder created after unzipping the file.

  A user-defined function will be used to define the rigid-body motion of the valve geometry. This function has already been written ( valve.c). You will only need to compile it within ANSYS FLUENT.

3.   Use FLUENT Launcher to start the 2D version of ANSYS FLUENT.

  For more information about FLUENT Launcher, see this section in the separate User's Guide.

Note:   The Display Options are enabled by default. Therefore, once you read in the mesh, it will be displayed in the embedded graphics window.
