Copy a Fluid Type to the simulation-specific Model Library

The Fluids Library contains a number of default Fluid Types that you can use in your simulations. If you want to customize one of these Fluid Types for a specific simulation, we recommend that you copy the Fluid Type to the simulation-specific Model Library and then customize it. The Fluid Type is then included with the simulation when you export the simulation. If you then share the simulation with other users, the simulation that they import includes the customized Fluid Type and avoids possible fluid errors and data discrepancies.

Simulation Builders cannot change Fluid Types in any of the default Model Libraries, so they must copy Fluid Types to the simulation-specific Model Library to customize them.

Copy a Fluid Type to the simulation-specific Model Library

1. Browse to the Model Library that contains the Fluid Type you want to copy.

2. Right-click the Fluid Type and then select Copy.

3. Browse to the simulation-specific Model Library.

4. Right-click a blank space on the simulation-specific Model Library, and then select Paste.

   The Fluid Type appears in the simulation-specific Model Library.
