.dat file loading issues

JJ O-A · August 10, 2017, 18:03

Please I am having issues loading case and data files for multiple simulations I've run. I have the .dat file available, but when I try importing case and data into fluent, it only imports the case. Furthermore, it doesn't allow me to just import a .dat file through the Import Data option. Does anyone know why this occurs?
Thanks,
JJ

What is this about importing? Are you in WB or Fluent? In Fluent you need to read the case and data file, not import.

In the GUI ribbon go to file=> read

In the TUI type something like
rc blah.cas
rd blah.dat

You can also omit the .cas and .dat, Fluent knows to look for those extensions.

rcd blah
Will look for blah.cas and a blah.dat
