ExportGeo-Fluent
With ExportGeo-Fluent, it is possible to export structures from GeoDict and to run fluid flow and heat computations with Fluent on them. The voxel structure in GeoDict is exported to a mesh file (*.msh or *.neu), the solver parameters for the Fluent simulation are recorded to a journal file (*.jou). Those two files together contain all necessary information for the simulation in Fluent. The .jou files are saved as ASCII files so that, if changes are required, they can be easily opened and edited with a text editor.
To access ExportGeo-Fluent, select Export → ExportGeo-Fluent in the menu bar.

Note! To execute the *.jou file in Fluent, the 3D double-precision solver (fluent 3ddp) must be selected. When exporting under Windows and running simulations under Linux, it might be necessary to convert the *.jou and *.msh files to the Unix format with the dos2unix command. |

Important! The same results can be achieved with the FlowDict and ConductoDict modules directly in GeoDict. In general, this is the recommended way if FlowDict or ConductoDict is in your GeoDict license, since the GeoDict solvers are optimized for voxel structures and therefore faster and more memory efficient for this use case. |
