1D analysis in Star CCM+ without using OLGA software
 

I am working on some geometry which is consisting of around 25 pipes (length 1m and diameter 1cm each) feeding into one tank. Pipes inside contains swirl tapes, so meshing single pipe leads to very high mesh count. So what I am planing is to do 1D analysis in the pipe (using some correlations of swirl tapes) and 3D analysis in the tank.

How can I do this without using OLGA software, like using some scripts or simpe codes.

PS: for those who dont know OLGA, its a 1D analysis software already coupled for Star CCM+

I'm just guessing that you could potentially use the field functions for this. Or potentially write your own script to interact with your star simulation at those points.

And I am just assuming that if we can do this problem using feild function but will it be possible to couple it for 3D simulations.
And I totally don't have idea about writing the script in Star CCM+, if you can share the relevant content for this problem will be real help.

Thanks

If you're using field functions there's no 'coupling' to speak of, you're just entering data into the simulation.

What do you need the pipes to do? What information do you need to pass?

If I talk about only the flow starting from one end of the pipe and the other end is feeding into the tank. And the tank is also having some outlet. Then in this case the boundary where the pipe and the tank is meeting we will be sharing information related as pressure and velocity, end conditions (such as velocity ,pressure, density) of the pipe will be the inlet conditions for the tank.

Yeah, so it sounds pretty simple, you should be able to do this easily with BCs and some field functions.
