I cant find my results in saved simulations

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am relatively new to Autodesk CFD and one thing I noticed is that each time I save a simulation with solved results, on opening the cfdst file again, the results are cleared and I am forced to rerun the analysis. Is this normal? From my experience with other FEA software like Nastran-in-CAD and Simulation Mechanical, saved simulation results are always there even when changes are made to the model and current results are invalid.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

This is definitely not normal 🙂 Is the working directory on your local C drive? Not a network drive? Make sure you're not working from a folder that is being synced with a Box folder or something similar. 

Check the solver folder of a project which has/should have results. Are there .res files in it? These are the results files.

Thanks,

Project folder in is local drive (no cloud syncing). I checked the result folder and I couldn't see any .res file.

Can you look at this and let me know what exactly I'm doing wrong: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1Gh0qbGN7nedFVHcVpJMmY0eG8
