Import results from Navier Stokes to Structural

apadzak

Hi Victor, is there a method how to import pressure results from navier stokes to structural analysis? Something like using heat load from thermal to structural. I started creating manually mesh of a turbine 2D just to see an effect of some features but I failed meshing it and gave up for a while. I am thinking to come back to it and then when I get some pressure values I would think to transfer them to structural mode as initial structural insight. I will do this in OF in feature when I get more understanding of the code and it will be probably quite interesting to see comparison of simplified omdel and 3D VFM approach.

There's no builtin way sorry. Another person managed to generate an arbitrary pressure distribution on a wing by writing a program to generate a .liml file containing individual pressure loads imported from other software. You would need to convert the fluid node values to mechanical pressure face values, probably by averaging.
