During the process of creating the model, running the CFX-Solver and analyzing the results, a number of different files are created by the various modules of the software. This section describes some of these files and their purposes.

The use of these files with their default extension is shown in the following flowchart. The standard files used and produced are indicated with solid black lines; other possible uses are indicated with dotted lines.
