Icepak Results Used by Fluent for FSI
 

Hi fellow CFD onliner!

I'm using Icepak solving electronics solder reliability under power cycling. It involves CFD, heat transfer and structural analysis, first two of which is run by Icepak, for steady-state and transient.
1) Icepak has a lot of specified advantages in this problem. With non-conformal mesh in assemblies, hex-dominant mesh can be easily generated.
2) Fluent has a feature called FSI data mapping that can transfer FVM results into FEA. I have a legacy MAPDL FE model and that's why I don't want to rebuid everything in the custom system of FSI in Workbench

I hit a road block when I try to open Icepak case file (*.cas) and data file (*.fdat). Basically there are two case files (name.cas and name_nc.cas) if non-conformal mesh is used. I opened either of them, error about "unassigned zones" showed up. I was wondering if anyone one could help me with the proper way to utilize Fluent FSI data mapping with existing Icepak results. Thank in advance!
