Settings for icepak energy storage materials

How do I import an IDF file into Ansys IcePak?

Purge Inactive Objects option in the IDF Import dialog box. See Reading an IDF File Into ANSYS Icepak of the User's Guide. Transient setup of models is now possible using CSV files. This capability enables import/export of all transient parameters including piecewise linear property curves using CSV files.

How can I run multiphysics simulations using IcePak?

Run multiphysics simulations by coupling Icepak with AEDT electromagnetics solvers (Maxwell, HFSS, Q3D). How and where to get additional resources and support. Training materials for this course are available with a Ansys Learning Hub Subscription. If there is no active public schedule available, private training can be arranged.

How can I improve the performance of IcePak?

Make sure your computer has enough memory (RAM) and fast storage to handle the workload. If you need more help, consult the software documentation or contact the support team. By following these steps, you can optimize the use of multiple cores and improve performance during post-processing and data collation in both classic Icepak and AEDT Icepak.

How to use multiple processors in IcePak?

For the classic Icepak we just need to specify the number of processors in Solution settings–>parallel settings panel. As you have observed, the parallel processors are used by fluent to solve using the multiple processors. For loading and post processing it uses one processor. Please check the document or training material for details.

How do I transfer thermal results from IcePak to mechanical IcePak?

Thermal Results from Icepak to Mechanical Icepak results can be transferred to the following analysis types within Workbench: Static Structural, Steady-State Thermal, Transient Structural, or Transient Thermal. To add an analysis type:

How do I create a project in IcePak?

To launch the Icepak application, double-click the Icepak cell. A new project is created in the name of the project cell. If a DesignModeler system is used the geometry is imported into Icepak automatically. Otherwise, the geometry must be created in Icepak using Icepak primitive objects.
