Loading the Starting File and Generating the Mesh

You start this tutorial by loading a starting simulation file that contains the aeration tank geometry, pre-defined mesh operations, and the regions.

To load the starting simulation:

  1. Start up Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and select File > Load.
  2. In the Load a File dialog:
    1. Click Browse.
    2. In the Open dialog, navigate to the multiphaseFlow folder of the downloaded tutorial files and select aerationTank_start.sim.
    3. Click Open, then OK.
  3. To generate the mesh using the pre-defined mesh operations, right-click the Geometry > Operations > Automated Mesh node and select Execute.
  4. To visualize the mesh, open the Mesh scene. The mesh is set up to use the polyhedral mesher.


  5. Save the simulation as aerationTank_run.sim.
