Visualizing the Mapped Imported Temperature

Visualize the mapped imported temperature in a scalar scene.

In the same way as for the imported temperature data, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ created a mapped imported temperature field function during the mapping operation. Create a scalar scene and use this field function to visualize the mapped temperature data on the fluid wall boundary.

The new scalar scene shares a number of settings with the Imported Temperature scene, so create a duplicate of this scene to use as a starting point:

  1. Copy the Scenes > Imported Temperature node and paste it onto the Scenes node.
  2. Rename the Imported Temperature copy node to Mapped Imported Temperature.
  3. Edit the Scalar 1 > Parts node.
  4. In the Edit dialog:
    1. Deselect the Imported Models node.
    2. Select the Regions > Fluid > Boundaries > Fluid-Wall node and the Regions > Surface Extruder > Boundaries > Fluid.Fluid-Wall node.
    3. Click OK.
  5. Select the Scalar 1 > Scalar Field node, and set Function to MappedImportedTemperature.
A scene similar to the one shown below is displayed.

Comparing the imported temperature contour with the mapped imported temperature contour, it is clear that the imported temperature data from Abaqus has been mapped successfully onto the fluid wall boundary.
