How to postprocess Icepak AEDT results in CFD Post.

This article explains a workaround to postprocess Icepak AEDT results in Ansys CFD Post.



  1. You have to have a finished simulation or have had a clean stop. 
  2. Look for the results folders. 
  3. Inside the AEDT results folder, look for your Icepak project results folder. 
  4. Inside the results folder, look for a folder ending in .restart. 
  5. Inside the restart folder, look for the .nc_cas file and the .dat.h5 file. 
    A screenshot of a computer screen AI-generated content may be incorrect.
  6. After identifying the files, open Fluent either in the standalone version or within the workbench.  
  7. Open only the case file and select the current .nc_cas file. If you try to open the case and data at the same time, it will give you an error. 
  8. After you open the .nc_cas file, read or import only the data file. 
  9. Check in Fluent if the temperature, velocity, or other results were imported correctly. 
  10. Save the Fluent files with a different name. 
  11. Finally, open the case file created in step 10 with CFD Post. 
  12. Postprocess your results.
