Regardless of this, the geometry should be checked using the geometry analysis to ensure the model contains a closed volume, meaning there are no holes or gaps within the geometry, so that further down the line, no negative volume elements are present. For simple geometries the former tends to be used and for more complex geometries the latter is often used. ICEM CFD allows for its geometry to either be made using its own geometry topology package or to import geometry via external CAD software. Replay (*.rpl): This file consists of the replay script.Journal (*.jrf): This file consists of the record of the operations performed.This is hence only ever apparent in Cartesian grids. Cartesian (*.crt): This file consists of the information regarding the Cartesian grid.

This data is then passed onto the attributes file. Parameters (*.par): This file consists of the mesh independent data such as material properties, local coordinates and run parameters.Attributes (*.atr)(*.fbc): This file consists of the mesh dependent data specified during any edge, surface or vertices association as well as data for parts, element properties, loads and constraints of the mesh.Blocking (*.blk): This file consists of the framework used to create a structured mesh with the details of each individual block.The shell mesh elements contain triangular and quadrilateral elements whilst the volume mesh elements contain hexahedra, pyramids and prisms. Mesh (*.uns): This file consists of the line, shell, and volume mesh elements.

ANSYS ICEM CFD SERIES
The series of file types contained within the working directory are: Every project will contain a series of file types dependent upon the mesh type and structure. It is possible to either create or open a pre-existing project.
