This tutorial simulates a static mixer consisting of two inlet pipes delivering water into a mixing vessel; the water exits through an outlet pipe. A general workflow is established for analyzing the flow of fluid into and out of a mixer using ANSYS Workbench. This tutorial includes:

Component CFX-Pre
1. Use your operating system's tools to create a directory for your project's files. The directory you create will be referred to as the working directory. 2. Copy StaticMixerMesh.gtm from the <CFXROOT>/examples directory to the working directory, where <CFXROOT> is the installation directory for ANSYS CFX.
Note: You use a CFX component system because you are starting with a mesh. If you wanted to create the geometry and mesh, you would start with a Fluid Flow (CFX) analysis system. 3. From the tool bar, click Save As . In the dialog that appears, browse to the working directory, give the File name as StaticMixer, and click Save. 4. Right-click on the blue CFX cell (A1) and select Rename. Change the name of the system to Static Mixer.
One window shows the convergence history plots and the other displays text output from CFX-Solver. The text lists physical properties, boundary conditions, and various other parameters used or calculated in creating the model. All the text is written to the output file automatically (in this case, StaticMixer_001.out).
Note: Once the second iteration appears, data begins to plot. Plotting may take a long time depending on the amount of data to process. Let the process run.
The viewer displays an outline of the geometry and other graphic objects. You can use the mouse or the toolbar icons to manipulate the view, exactly as in CFX-Pre
