ANSYS CFX is computational fluid dynamics software from Ansys for Windows. It is used to model and solve a wide range of fluid-flow problems.

A cmdb file stores the mesh database used by ANSYS CFX. The mesh defines the computational regions and elements on which the software performs a simulation, and is used together with the other files that make up an ANSYS CFX project.

The format is intended for use within ANSYS CFX rather than as a general-purpose mesh interchange format.

How to open cmdb file?

Open the cmdb file with ANSYS CFX on Microsoft Windows. Use the CFX mesh or project tools to load the mesh database as part of a CFX simulation.

How to convert cmdb file?

If a different mesh format is required, use the mesh import or export functions provided by ANSYS CFX, when available for the required format.
