In my master's thesis, I am using your Fluent software to analyze the wall roughness of a flat and a sine-shaped plate. I am trying to create these using Matlab or Excel and then import them into Designmodeler as geometry.

For example, I want to create a geometry from a series of points using Concept-> 3D Curve. However, as soon as I try to import a txt or cvs file, I get an error message with a yellow exclamation mark.

If I try to read in my geometry via points, no points are recognized.

However, if I insert a given Naca file, which represents a wing profile, the insertion works without any problems.

I don't understand how my created file and the given file can look exactly the same in format and one file can be read in and the other not.

Because I use the German Deisginmodeler the point have to have comma

Check the file for white space characters, but also the header part sets open/closed curves. Depending on what's in the file it may cause the problem. The other issue could be the line dimensions: how close together are the points?
