We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hello Ivonne,

Thanks for responding.

I tried to open the link but access was denied. I will look into it.

I agree that required mesh quality to obtain good results will be different. But, in principle, I can export the Ohmic loss values at every grid point of fluid flow mesh, using Maxwell-3d calculator. 

I have followed this same procedure to perform electromagnetic stirring, wherein I exported the value of electromagnetic force using Maxwell-3D calculator. In this, first, I stored the fluent mesh cell centres (with the help of a UDF) in a text file, then copied it to a file with name "mesh.pts". Subsequently, used this "mesh.pts" file in Maxwell-3D calculator to export the Lorentz force. Later, with the help of UDF I could supply them back as source term to momentum equations in fluent case file.

Can I follow the same procedure to export ohmic loss on "mesh.pts" file, and then apply the ohmic losses as source to energy equation? or will it lead to more interpolation error?

Sincerely

Krishna
