Hi Lance,

"Say that you have calculated TAWSS in excel/matlab and know the value at each coordinate. Then, in CFD-post goto file/export and export any variable (say e.g. velocity) at the wall of interest. Check "line and face connectivity" and you'll get a file with coordinates and the variable + face connectivity.
Now, simply replace the variable you exported with your calculated values of TAWSS, and then import the file as a user surface.
Nope, whatever you name your variable to in the .csv-file will show up in the variables list in post.
No need for CFX-pre at all. "

Based on the above, I have calculated the TAWSS in excel. Then, in the CFD post, I load results of my fluent at 1 time point. Then, in the CFD post, I go to the file/export and export wall shear at the wall part. I also check line and face connectivity.
Then, I replaced the value of wall shear stress into TAWSS and then import back the file as a user surface.
then the variable in the csv file show up in the variable list in post. When I checked the imported file, seems nothing happen.

Is there any mistake in my steps?

Thank you.

Regards,
Naimah
