Hi all I used STAR CD4.02.

Proam manual wrote "If the shells in question have not been created in pro-STAR but have been imported from external sources, it is important to associate them first with their adjacent fluid cells. The association operation may be performed using command CSHELL." .

Shells in my cell table are no.2 and no.3 . Fluid is no.4 .

I inputted CSHELL => all

but it did not work.

Messages on the prostar out:

MESH*> cshell

ENTER ICTID, NC1(1),NC2(NC1),NCINC(1)

CSHE*> all

43456 BAFFLES AND SHELLS FOUND

0 BAFFLES AND SHELLS ASSOCIATED WITH FLUID CELLS IN THE RANGE

Could someone help me? Thanks

There was a bug with the cshell command in one of the earlier prostar-v4 versions. Try it with the latest version (v404_12).

Sigh.. I think there 's a bug in export mapped data to ABAQUS too.

When I selected Map Wall Data button,the segmentation fault appeared.

If I want to associate the shell with the fluid and make couples between them..

Should I create another shell in the cell table

and add the new shell on the fluid surface that I want to make couples with original one..

Finally use CSHELL to make couples between original shell and the new shell ?

Thanks !!

Your description indicates you are using the command incorrectly.

You entered cshell,all. The command should be cshell,ictid,all.

Thank you very much, Pauli.

But after I knew how to enter correctly, I tried "CSHELL

ICTID CSET".

It still did not work.

You need to replace ICTID with the shell ctype.

At the command line enter "help cshell" & follow the instructions.

Thank you again for your advice.
