Hello Ansys Team, 

Is there a way to get data for Mass Flow vs Valve Lift for Intake and Exhaust Valves from Forte/Tutorial 5? 

Thank you very much!

Kind Regards,
Arturas

Are you wanting mass flow rates at the valve locations or at the inlets to the ports?

 

[Arturas Gulevskis]

Can I get both? 

[Ren]

Yes, Forte automatically calculate and store flow rate data in open_boundary_flow.csv for each inlet boundary and flow_into_engine.csv for each port. To get the flow rate data for each valve you need to set up a "Port Flow Monitor" for each valve. This option is available in:

Output Control > Spatially Averaged and Spray panel

Please look for the Port Flow Monitor icon at the top of the panel.

Hello Ren, 

Thank you for the reply. 

I understand I am on the right page. But I am unsure how to set it up as you recommended. Would you be able to assist me, please? I need data for each valve; intake and exhaust. This is tutorial 5. Ansys Forte 2023 R2. Any support would be much appreciated. 

Thank you very much. 

Kind Regards,
Arturas Gulevskis

Hey there again, 

Am I on the right path? Please see attached screenshot below. Where will I be able to access the results if im on the right path and I do the same for all 4 valves? 

Thank you

Hi, Arturas,

You are doing the right thing. The results will be saved in a file called port_flow_monitor.csv in the run directory ("Nominal" by default) along with many other files generated by Forte. You can plot the results in Forte Monitor program or in Excel.
