Startup
A few words on the formatting on the following instructions:
Notes that require you to perform an action are colored in blue
General information is colored in black, but does not require any action
Words that are bolded are labels for items found in ANSYS AIM
Most important notes are colored in red
Now that we have the pre-calculations, we are ready begin simulating in ANSYS AIM. Open ANSYS AIM by going to Start > All Apps > ANSYS 18.1 > ANSYS AIM 18.1. Once you are at the starting page of AIM select the Fluid Flow template as shown below.
