Python Automation Win: Batch Post-Processing
Just wrote a Python script that automatically extracts pressure coefficients, drag forces, and generates plots from 50+ ANSYS Fluent case files. What used to take 2 days now runs overnight.
Key libraries:
ansys-fluent-corefor TUI commandsmatplotlibfor standardized plotspandasfor data organizationpathlibfor robust file handling
The initial time investment (4 hours coding) already paid off. Next step: auto-generate summary reports with $\LaTeX$.
Automation isn't just about efficiency—it eliminates human error in repetitive tasks. 🐍
