I want to export CAA sources from STAR-CD Aeroacousic Solve to FIELDVIEW.How can I do it?(Export results doing standard pressure,velocity etc...) Dejan

Hi, you can manage to do it with a little trick. Start off by creating a back-up copy of your model and post files as they will be overwritten!!

You define one passive scalar in Prostar for each column field of the .aarc file you wish to post process. Turn off the scalar equation solver and then perform one iteration (URF = 0.0) based on the old solution. The solver now returns a post file with a reserved field of a scalar values. Read new model and post files into prostar and then read the acoustics data (text) file (it will end up in the post register you choose, default is 4).

Now transfer the stored data to the post file by command OPER PUTC.

If you for example want to put the post register 4 data (e.g. column 5, sources) into the #1 scalar field of the post file, write:

OPER PUTC CONC 4 1

Answer YES to update file question.

Export to Fieldview as usual.

A walk in the park, don't you think?

Good luck!
