Glossary Item Box

This section describes the tools that are shipped with CodeFluent. Those tools are located in the CodeFluent current directory: %ProgramFiles%\SoftFluent\CodeFluent\Current.

A CodeFluent typical project can iterate through the following steps by using the CodeFluent product tools :

  • Step 0 : IMPORTING = Import the CodeFluent design model from an existing database;
  • Step 1 : MODELING = Edit the CodeFluent design model;
  • Step 2 : EXPLORING = Explore the CodeFluent design model;
  • Step 3 : PRODUCING = Produce output. 
Note: The import step (step 0) is optional, you do not need to import from an existent database to start a project with CodeFluent. You can directly start at Step 1: Modeling.
