Note: If a case is open, New Case is not available. To create new cases, ensure all open cases are saved (if required) and closed.

1. Select File > New Case.

   The New Case dialog box appears.

2. Select a case type.

   - General makes use of all features in CFX-Pre. This is the most common mode of operation.

   - Turbomachinery is used specifically for turbomachinery applications and enables quick setup in such cases. For details, see Turbomachinery Mode.

   - Quick Setup provides fewer model options and is suitable for simple physics setup. It is useful as a tool to learn the basic paradigms of CFX-Pre before using General mode. For details, see Quick Setup Mode.

   - Library Template enables a CCL physics definition to be imported for use on a mesh. For details, see Library Objects.
