### 3.2.18. Additional Files for ANSYS Multi-field Runs

For an ANSYS Multi-field run, the CFX-Solver does not produce any extra files. However, if the ANSYS Solver is launched by CFX, a new directory with a name of the form `<Run Name>.ansys` is created. This is used as the ANSYS working directory and many files will be created here by ANSYS. In addition, the CFX processing of the ANSYS files produces two extra files:

- Components File - this has a name of the form `*.cm` and can be found in the ANSYS working directory. It is created to contain some region definitions for CFD-Post when it reads the ANSYS results files. For details, see ANSYS Files in the CFD-Post User's Guide.

- ANSYS Multi-field input file - this has a name of the form `*.mf` and can be found in the ANSYS working directory. It is created whenever you ask for the provided ANSYS input file to be processed as part of defining a run. It contains the ANSYS setup (solid physics) together with the multi-field commands that are constructed from the ANSYS Multi-field settings in the CFX-Solver input file. For details, see Processing the ANSYS Input File.
