ICEM


Import formatted point data

File/import geometry/formatted point data

 Typically in an ASCII file
Specially formatted
Can be extrapolated to 3D, with scaling, twist, etc.
High or low curvature, etc.
May require different blocking strategy(Topology)
Requires some robust scripting

Formatted point data

File format, “.dat”[1]
The data is read in as Bspline data
The Formatted point data option converts formatted point data into the ANSYS ICEM CFD format.

Each surface's data is represented in the following way: The first line contains two numbers,
the number points for each curve, and the number of curves for each surfaces.
The remaining lines represent the points of the surface. An example is shown below:
*******
62 4
0.0682618 9.731237 0.5112982
-0.2821764 19.30035 0.5278823
-1.046131 9.840971 1.598944

reversed flow (backflow)

‎ Table of Contents 1. Reverse flow    reversed_flow 1.1. reasons 1.2. solutions 1 Reverse flow    reversed_flow It is common to encounter the regions of reversed flow at the initial stages of the simulation – This is normal. However, if the “reversed flow” warnings do not disappear as the simulation progresses, then one needs to address the issue and move the outlet boundaries to a location where the inflow is no longer encountered. Normally, it has to do with the outlet boundary condition. if you were to use the "pressure outlet" boundary condition at the outlet, your outlet must be set far away from the object of interest. In Fluent, I normally use the " outflow" boundary condition at the outlet and it does not give me reverse flow. 1.1 reasons It is virtually impossible to prescribe correct values for varying turbulence characteristics, temperature and species concentrations i...
