How to import data(xyz,time) to STAR-CCM+
 

Hi All,

I would like to import the volume fraction data for each time step to STAR-CCM+ simulation through the (xyz,time) option.
I'm having difficutly to fill-in correctly the excel file, becuase when i import my excel spreadsheet I won't be able to run the simulation.

can you help me to share your experience of importing excel file that intended to provide different values at different time step ?
appreciate if you can share with me the template of the excel spreadsheet to ensure that a specific volume fraction for each time-step.

highly looking forward to your respond.

Hi,
Use csv format and make like this..

x y z time
1 1 1 0
2 2 2 1
3 3 3 2

and than.. you should match each coordinate and time in CCM+.
x-coordinate -> x, y-coordinate->y, z-coordinate->z, time->t
try again good luck

Thanks for your respond.
I have tried doing what have you mentioned. but I found this error message:

VolumeFractionArrayProfile:: Component-0Profile: profile method properties not set correctly: Non-existent column "null"

what is the issue ?
even i have tried to change the time-step but still the simulation cannot run and showing me every time this message
I put 0 in all cells that is empty under all x, y, z columns.

appreciate your assistance.

Hi, Can you see your table contents after import?
You can check your report contents using right click on your table.

Also, you should check your sum of volume fraction is 1.
