Issues with CFD-Post Animation

jn10hn · April 4, 2018, 11:50

I am trying to load transient data (.dat) files into CFD-Post 18.2 to create animations. But the solution history is not being populated and I am seeing the following error in the attached images. Please advise

You are opening a fluent file in Post. Therefore, I expect you'll have more chance of getting an useful answer in the fluent forum, not in the CFX forum.

@Gert-Jan I'll keep that in mind for future Fluent-CFD-post related questions.

RESOLVED:

I realized that the simulations were run on a 32 core cluster and hence my solution files were partitioned. My initial case file read into CFD-Post had not yet been partitioned and therefore was "inconsistent" with the data files. Once I read in the partitioned case file, the transient data files were read in as one solution history and I was able to proceed with the animation.
