How to initialize solution variables in Ansys Fluent from a file?
This is possible by reading profiles in comma separated values (CSV) format. The data measured in an experiment or other commercial codes should be in tabular format and need to be
saved in EXCEL format. This EXCEL format file can be saved in CSV format. Once CSV profile is read, it is to be hooked in Fixed Values option for respective solution variables (like velocities, turbulence quantities, temperature, etc.) under Cell Zone Conditions. Thereafter, one iteration is to be performed to map or interpolate these fixed values to solution variables in Ansys Fluent. Now, Ansys Fluent has initialized solution variables from the CSV file. Fixed Values option is to be turned off for further iterations.
A sample example is created to use initial values from a file. The files related to this sample problem can be downloaded from the link given below.
