Issues Uploading Transferring Multiple Time Steps from CFX to Transient Structural

leeroy.jenkins · October 15, 2015, 22:08

Hi, I am running a transient solution for a shock tube that has a blast wave traveling through it. I am interested in transferring transient CFX pressure profiles along the tube wall in order to see stresses throughout the tube at various time steps. The problem that I am running into is that even though I have 20 saved time steps in CFX, the Transient Structural will only upload my 20th time step. Does anybody know how I can upload all 20 time steps from my CFX solution into Transient Structural?

Thank you!

I am also quite interested to know.

It actually uploads all the timesteps. Check the Imported Body temperature table which has only one row, clicking on each cell, all timesteps come out. The problem i find is how to make it understand that i want to use every timespet results from cfx to every transient structural timestep

Maybe running a 2-way fluid structure interaction makes sense at this point
