## Chapter 5: ANSYS CFX in ANSYS Workbench

ANSYS CFX components can be run in two modes:

- As stand-alone applications started from the ANSYS CFX Launcher and independent of the ANSYS Workbench software. This mode is described in Using the ANSYS CFX Launcher.

- As applications launched from ANSYS Workbench.

This chapter describes using ANSYS CFX in ANSYS Workbench:

- The ANSYS Workbench Interface
- Data Flow Within and Between Systems
- An Example Fluid Flow Setup
- Default File Locations
- Working With CFX in Workbench

Note: This chapter assumes that you are familiar with using ANSYS CFX in stand-alone mode. You should consult the ANSYS Workbench help for more detailed information on ANSYS Workbench.

Important: CFX in ANSYS Workbench does not support the use of filenames or project names that contain multiple consecutive spaces, or the "$", "#", or "," characters anywhere in their filepath.
