18.2.7. Importing External File Formats

Data import is controlled using the >import command. There are two file types that can be imported: Ansys (*.cdb) and Generic (*.csv). The CCL options associated with the >import command are:

>import type=<Ansys | Generic>,
   filename=<filename>,
   object name=<name of object>,
   boundary=<associated boundary>,
   conserve flux=<true | false>

type: Indicates whether to import the file as an Ansys file or Generic file.
filename: The name of the file to import.
object name: The name to give the USER SURFACE object that is created as a result of importing the file.
boundary: The name of the CFD-Post boundary/region to associate with the imported Ansys surface. This association is used during an Ansys file import to project data from the Ansys surface onto the CFD-Post boundary/region. The same association is used during an Ansys file export, when data from the CFD-Post boundary/region is projected back onto the Ansys surface.
conserve flux: Boolean to indicate whether or not to ensure that the heat fluxes associated with the imported Ansys geometry remain conservative relative to the fluxes on the associated CFD-Post Boundary.
