      Hello,

      I just made the following profile example.csv (from the users guide) :

      [Name]
      outlet
      [Data]
      x,y,z,x-velocity
      -0.00036448459,0.0068932362,3,0.05
      0.0014999653,-0.0090896944,3,0.05
       
      [Name]
      transient-temperature
      [Data]
      time,temperature
      1.1,300
      1.2,350
      1.3,400
       
      When I issue :
      /file/read-profile "example.csv"
       
      Fluent outputs the following error :
       
      Reading "example.csv"...
      Reading CSV profile file...
      Error at host: Read_CSV_Profile: Failed to extract profile type information based on field names. Check field names.

      Any helpful guideline is very welcome . Thanks.

      Is your model 2d or 3d? Is it transient and is energy on? If you copied the text from the manual please check for white space characters as Fluent may not like some of them.

      Hi,

      I am able to read profile sucessfully. Which version you are using? Can you try to load using file - read - profile?
