I need to import a CSV volumetric heating values (point based) as a heat source for my analysis. Ideally to be interpolated into selected zones of a thermal hydraulic analysis (only applied at solids zones).
Which would be the easy way? Easy meaning I have no knowledge of UDF programming... thanks

Try a cell zone PROFILE. You have to do some work to convert your csv into the format.

Can you give me some hint about the needed formatting in the CSV? I need to import & interpolate a volumetric heat source, which values varies on the 3d
