1. how to write mesh from prostar
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type ngeom,[name].ngeom,star in the command line. This will create a
|
||
|
.ngeom file of your Prostar model.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you have boundaries defined, these will be kept in the .ngeom file so
|
||
|
you won't have to rename and redefine the boundaries in ccm+. However,
|
||
|
the values (properties) are not exported.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you don't have boundaries you'll get a single wall patch in ccm+ that
|
||
|
you'll have to split accordingly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. how to load it into star-ccm+
|
||
|
|
||
|
In ccm+ create a new simulation and do File>Import...
|
||
|
|
||
|
Browse to the location where you have your .ngeom file, select it, press
|
||
|
OK and that's it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. how to do merging (or is automatic?)
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you had couples in your Prostar model, your meshes will all be
|
||
|
"fused" together automatically in ccm+ when you import the .ngeom file.
|
||
|
Keep a look on the output window in Prostar when you run the ngeom
|
||
|
command to make sure the couples are exported OK.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Alternatively, you can "fuse" the different fluid regions in ccm+. To do
|
||
|
this select all the fluid regions you want to merge together from the
|
||
|
command tree on the left of your screen, under Regions. Press control
|
||
|
and click on top of each one, once you've selected all, click the
|
||
|
right-hand buttom of your mouse and select Fuse...
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. how to save it from star-ccm+
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once your model is ready in ccm+ (i.e. all regions and boundary patches
|
||
|
defined), go to File>Export... and select .ccm format.
