      How can steady-state case results be the initial conditions for a transient model in Ansys Fluent?

      Here we present a workflow for using steady-state results as initial conditions for a transient model.

      1. In the steady-state case folder, you should see an interpolation file created (.ip). This is the file you need to upload the results as initial conditions in the other case:


      2. Open the new case (Transient) set-up solver and import the .ip file as follows:

      2.1 Click on "File," and after that, click "Interpolate,"



      2.2 Select the cell zone that you want to interpolate and click on "read":



      2.3 Select the .ip file and click "ok":



      3. That's it; you should have the results already uploaded.
