Run Heat Simulation (Voxel)
Run Heat Simulation (Voxel) contains the same options as Export Heat Simulation (Voxel), but the Fluent simulation is directly started after clicking Run.

Important! The same results can be achieved with the ConductoDict module directly in GeoDict. In general, this is the recommended way if 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. |
The available options are explained under Export heat simulation (voxel).
To make Run Heat Simulation (Voxel) work in ExportGeo-Fluent, Ansys Fluent must be installed on the same computer. Moreover, GeoDict must know the installation path of Ansys Fluent. To achieve that, open GD2025_externals.py found in C:\Program Files\Math2Market GmbH\GeoDict 2025\ in Windows or in the installation folder in Linux.
Find the line specifying the path of “fluentExec” and replace the path with your installation path of Ansys Fluent on your computer.
Additionally, for the heat case, a User Defined Function (UDF) is provided to calculate the temperature gradient. This UDF must be compiled in Fluent when executing the journal file exported from Export Heat Simulation (Voxel) or when running Run Heat Simulation (Voxel). Therefore, your computer should have a compiler installed.
