Discrete Data As Boundary Condition in CFX-Pre

ashtonJ · November 10, 2011, 22:22

Hi all,

I have following discrete data of time dependent pressure distribution and I want to impose these discrete data as inlet boundary condition in CFX-Pre. I would be too pleased if anybody help me to do that.

Time Pressure
016.54770.0117.88940.0219.67840.0322.8090.0429.51760.0538.46230.0645.17090.0746.95980.0848.74870.0950.53770.152.7739

Thank you very much.

Use a 1D interpolation function.

Thanks for your kind reply. I tried to use 1D interpolation function, however, I was asked to enter the coordinate for each pressure value. I'd like to let you know that I have average pressure at each time interval. I mean, at different times, I have pressure values (a time dependent distribution) and don't have the coordinate. Please let me know what the coordinate is for my problem.
Thank you very much

Coordinate? Then you used a 3D interpolation function. You need a 1D interpolation function.

Again thanks for your attention. I attached an image(1D interpolation Funcation.jpg) which shows that for 1D function, I need to specify the coordinate of each value. My data is also attached as an image. Please have a look and let me know how I can use the attached data as BC.

Thank you very much

I see. In your case you define pressure as the result unit and time as the argument units. Then your coordinates are (time, pressure).
