CFDTwin v0.2.0: API core with optional GUI

CFDTwin v0.2.0

This release packages CFDTwin as an open-source Python toolkit for building neural-network surrogate models from ANSYS Fluent simulations, with the desktop GUI available as an optional install extra.

Installation

API-only installation:

pip install cfdtwin

API + desktop GUI:

pip install "cfdtwin[gui]"

The API-only install avoids the Qt/PySide6 GUI dependency and is better suited for headless, HPC, and scripted workflows. The GUI extra installs the wizard-based desktop app for interactive Setup -> DOE -> Simulate -> Train -> Analyze workflows.

Highlights

• Separates the lightweight API install from the optional GUI dependency.
• Provides the same CFDTwin workflow through both Python scripts and the desktop GUI.
• Supports Fluent case setup, input/output definition, DOE generation, batch simulation, surrogate training, validation, and prediction.
• Includes documentation and a four-part GUI walkthrough video series.
• Supports scalar, surface-field, and cell-zone output workflows for CFD surrogate modeling.
