CFD-Post can import CFX-TASCflow results files for postprocessing. When you load the results, you may be prompted to provide the solution units that were used in the simulation. For details, see CFD-Post Solution Units.
If TBPOST_COMP_X parameters (where
X is the component number) are defined in the GCI file, either on
their own or within the TBPOST_COMP_LIST macro, they are
used to obtain the list of turbo components to load. Each defined component is treated as a
separate domain inside CFD-Post, allowing for their individual turbo initialization.
Note: If this list exists but is incomplete, only the defined components are loaded. If you cannot load a turbo file, it may be due to an incompatibility in the component definition. As a workaround, remove TBPOST related parameter and macro definitions from the GCI file.
When loading rso or grd files, bcf and prm files are required.
bcf files must be complete (must contain all domain and boundary condition definitions).
When using the Turbo Post functionality, separate region names are required for the following 2D location types:
HubShroudBladeInletOutletPeriodic1Periodic2If these regions have not been specified separately (that is, the hub and blade are both part of one region), you will either need to recreate them in the CFX-TASCflow preprocessor or specify the turbo regions from line locators. For details, see Initialize All Components.
Mass flow and torque are not written to rso files by CFX-TASCflow. These values are approximated in CFD-Post and may not be suitable for use in a formal quantitative analysis.
By default, CFD-Post does not modify the variable names in the
rso file. If you want to use all of the embedded CFD-Post macros
and calculation options, you need to convert variable names to CFX variable names. You can convert
the variable names to CFX variable names upon reading the file by
selecting Edit > Options, then,
in the Options dialog box, selecting
CFD-Post > Files >
Variables > Non CFX Files >
Translate variable names to CFX-Solver style names.
Translation is carried out according to the following:
