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