I am trying to calculate heat transfer coefficient (HTC) distribution of an airfoil but I dont want to use the pre-defined HTC functions in fluent\/cfd-post.<\/p>\n
I exported myheat flux and temperature distribution on the airfoil to a csv file. I selected “Line and face connectivity” so I could re-import this data as a surface later on. I then added a column to my csv file calculating the HTC at each point. The csv that I want to import back into CFD-post has 4 data columns for the spatial data: X, Y, Z, HTC. Under the dataset, there is a line that says [faces] followed by rows with 8 columns of data. I’m assuming this part is for the face connectivity so I could re-import as a surface instead of as lines or a point cloud.<\/p>\n
Once I try to re-import back into CFD post so I could do further post-processing with my new HTC data, I get an error that says “ERROR: Invalid number of data elements supplied on line 9: expecting 8, received 4”<\/p>\n
Of course it only received 4 because I only have 4 columns of data to create the distribution, but is it expecting 8 because of the face connectivity portion of the datasheet? How would I fix this?<\/p>\n
Also, the weird thing is if I export the csv file from cfd-post, and then reimport it without making any changes at all then it works just fine (but without the data I need). I receive the above error the second I make any changes at all to the csv. Even if it’s just taking the existing data and editing 1 cell, such as adding\/subtracting 1 to\/from it. So if I make ZERO changes the it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-369679","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-csv-1","topic-tag-ansys-cfd-post-1","topic-tag-cfd-post","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-importdata-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
