I have a csv file with time dependent heatflux data. First column time, second column heatflux. I want to apply these heat fluxes to a surface as a load or boundary condition in my ANSYS CFX model. Unfortunately I could not find a suitable tutorial or instructions on how to implement this. I get the following error:

The Data File could not be initialized as a profile: Invalid format in file '...', line 1. After reading beginning of file, saw invalid line. Expected to read: '[CoordFrame]' section heading, '[Name]' section heading, or end of file. The Data File could not be initialized as a table: Invalid format in file '...', line 1. After reading or beginning of file, saw invalid line: Expected to read: '[Name]' section heading or end of file.

I get that my format is not right but is there any available examplary csv file to see how it should be? And after importing the data how do I apply them as heatflux boundary condition or load? Thanky ou so much for any hints and help.

Hi Ermanno,

You can check out this from the CFX user guide:
