Coordinates from Ansys Mechanical to Ansys Fluent

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the challenge of using a custom coordinate system at the inlet of a cerebral aneurysm model when transitioning from Ansys Mechanical to Ansys Fluent. The user successfully created a custom coordinate system but struggles to set it as the default instead of the global coordinate system used by Fluent. Attempts to use the 'Translate Mesh' option have proven insufficient for proper alignment, and the 'Rotate Mesh' option does not adequately correlate the data from Mechanical. The need for an accurate coordinate system is crucial for precise fluid analysis results. Input and suggestions on achieving this alignment are sought from the community.

Dear all,

I am implementing a fluid analysis on cerebral aneurysms and it is obligatory to apply the origin of my coordinate system at the inlet of the aneurysm.I use Ansys Mechanical for the meshing of my geometry which comes with a pre-applied Global coordinate system. I am able to create a new coordinate system at the inlet of the aneurysm ( 1st image attached ), but my query is as follows;how can I use my 'Custom' coordinate system applied on the Inlet as the default one instead of the global?You see, after I have created my mesh, I am using Ansys Fluent and I must use the 'Custom' coordinate system in order to have accurate results when I calculate coordinate related factors. Fluent uses the Global one, created by default in Mechanical.I have already tried the 'Translate Mesh' option ( 2nd Image attached) based on the offsets derived from Mechanical, but it is not enough, because an alignment of the axes on the Mesh is required. Unfortunately, the 'rotate mesh' option is not adequate to create a correlation from the data provided in Mechanical.Every thought is welcome.

Ansys Mechanical Global and 'Local' coordinate system at the 'Inlet'

Ansys Fluent offers a translate mesh option. Useful but not enough in order to align the Mesh

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
