Failed to import CHEMKIN Mechanism file to Fluent. How to address?

06 April 2020 1 6K Report

Hello All,

Currently, I am using a licensed version of ANSYS 2019 R2 along with CHEMKIN Pro Package.

I was trying to import a CHEMKIN reaction mechanism file (.inp) that is included in CHEMKIN Package in the model fuel library. The name of the file is NaturalGas_Methane_CHEM_MFL_2018.

When I use the same mechanism in Chemkin simulation, it works well. But, as I wanted to import it Fluent, it failed with an error message - Failed to import CHEMKIN mechanism.

Could you please let me know how to solve this problem?

Thank you
