17.2. User Functions in CFD-Post

When a CFX results file is loaded, CFD-Post supports the evaluation of some user functions that were defined in the command language for the results file. Interpolation, profile data and table functions can all be evaluated.

  • CFD-Post always evaluates profile data functions in the global coordinate frame.

  • Profile data and table functions each reference data from a .csv file. CFX-Pre and CFX-Solver read from the .csv file specified in the function definition. CFD-Post reads not from a .csv file but from a copy of the .csv file that is stored within the results file.

  • You can use expressions as user function arguments. Such expressions should have the same definition between CFD-Post and the CFX results file so that user function evaluations are consistent between CFD-Post and CFX-Solver.
