Hey everyone

I am trying to do a sloshing simulation inside a reservoir using accelaration data points on specified instants. I´m a little lost on how to insert these data points as the boundry conditions. For a more simple simulation i used the equations as named expressions for the X, Y and Z accelarations but now i want to know how to insert something like a CSV file as the named expression. I think a possible way to do this is by creating a user defined function that folows the datapoints but i dont understand how we can insert it as a acelaration boundy condition.

Help on this matter would be very apreciated

Thank you for the help! In theory should work perfectly, but im having trouble uploading the csv file to fluent. Its stuck in the "reading profile please wait" message and after i try to stop the reading the program freezes. Im using a csv according to the file rules in profiles and i tried using a file with only 6 or 7 points. Nothing seems to work
