how to export "wall heat flux" to tecplot?

November 25, 2008, 08:44

hi, all. this problem made me terrible! the codes i used is CFX 11.0,and I want export "wall heat flux" to tecplot.if i export a CGNS file, this file can be import in tecplot, but i find the variable is not complete, the variable:" wall heat flux"," heat flux", and so on, is not include in it. if i export the "wall heat flux" in the CFX-Post, it can't be import in tecplot,

Is anybody could help me? thanks a lot!

Hi,

I think you need to enable:

Results Options> Include Variables Only Found On Boundaries

when you perform the export. It then appears as the variable 'Bulk Energy Flow Rate' in the CGNS file.

... actually if you also set the output Level to '3' on the export form, you will get the variables 'Heat Flux' (equivalent to the bulk energy flow) and 'Wall Heat Flux' along with several others.

Johnson
