Show Warning on Editing Setup if Solution Has Current or Initial Data: Allows you to determine
whether a warning message should appear when solution data exists and you attempt to open ANSYS
FLUENT from the Setup cell. When you open FLUENT from the Setup cell, the mesh and settings file
associated with the Setup cell are loaded into FLUENT which may or may not be what you want. When
this option is selected, the warning dialog is shown; the option is selected by default.
Delete Old Solutions at Start of New Calculation: Allows you to be able to automatically remove old
solution data.
Enable Solution Monitoring: Allows you to be able to graphically view FLUENT solution
convergence data without having FLUENT open. Once this option is enabled, you can use the Show
Solution Monitoring option in the Solution cell context menu to display a convergence chart.

4.2.2 Launcher Options

These options apply to FLUENT Launcher for new FLUENT–based systems once the options are set.
These settings can be overridden by editing the properties specified for the Setup and Solution cell.
The settings specified in the Setup and Solution cell properties are always respected. These options
are saved with the Workbench project, therefore, for previously saved projects, the saved settings are
used instead of the selected options.

Show Launcher at Startup: Allows you to show or hide FLUENT Launcher when FLUENT starts.
Display Mesh after Reading: Allows you to show or hide the mesh after the mesh or case/data is read
into FLUENT.
Embed Graphics Windows: Allows you to embed the graphics windows in the FLUENT application
window, or to have them free-standing.

Use Workbench Color Scheme: Allows you to use either the classic black background color in the
graphics window, or to use the Workbench color scheme.

Setup Compilation Environment for UDF: Allows you to specify compiler settings for compiling
user-defined functions (UDFs) with FLUENT.

Precision: Allows you to choose either the single-precision or the double-precision solver.

Starting and Executing ANSYS FLUENT
The way you start ANSYS FLUENT will be the same for Linux/UNIX and Windows systems, as
described below in Section 1.1.2: Starting ANSYS FLUENT Using FLUENT Launcher. The installation
process (described in the separate installation instructions) is designed to ensure that the ANSYS
FLUENT program is launched when you follow the appropriate instructions.
