We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

POLYFLOW: Initialization of TEMPERATURE field from a CSV file

  In Multi-domain non-isothermal flow case or heat conduction calculation, when the TEMPERATURE field is initialized through a CSV file, temperature results do not match the expected distribution. Why is that? This may typically happen when the temperature has been initialized from a CSV file (Average temperature in Material Data menu) AND through a CSV file (specified in the menu for Numerical Parameters). The double definition creates the trouble. The easiest remedy here consists of assigning a single initialization value (Average temperature) in the menu of Material Data and to specify the initialization of the whole system through a CSV file in the menu of Numerical Parameters only. Whatever the value specified as average temperature, the CSV initialization receives a higher priority. The trouble does not appear for a single-domain calculation.
