Hello guys,


I am struggling for a while to import an .csv file to starccm in order to create probes from those coordinates. Does anybody have any clue how i should proceed?

[JBeilke]

A java macro should do the job.

[DrDerpy13]

Could you give me more details how to do it? I know how to import the table, but not to correlate the data with my probes

[JBeilke]

There should be 2 ways.

1) Don't read the csv into a table but read it via the macro and create a probe for every line in the file
2) Read the csv into a table and loop over the lines of the table.

Now I am curious - how can a loop over the lines of the table be implemented?

UPD The only way I can imagine - is to loop in Simulation Operations with Parameter and interpolateTable() using that parameter.
Is there any better way?

here are two java macros from 2011 that read from and write to a star table - see class table in the api - might need mods for recent versions of star

package macro;

import star.base.neo.*;
import star.base.report.MaxReport;
import star.common.*;

/**
* This macro takes the first table it finds in the STAR-CCM+ simulation and prints the data in the 1st 4 columns
*
*/

public class JavaReadTable extends StarMacro {

Simulation sim;
Units meter;

public void execute() {
int rowStart = 0;
int colStart = 0;

sim = getActiveSimulation();
Table t = sim.getTableManager().getObjects().iterator().next ();

String format = "%0" + (Math.log10(t.getNumColumns()) + 1) + "d";
int nPoints = t.getNumRows();

for (int n = rowStart; n < nPoints; n++) {

sim.println( "Table data a, b, c, d : " +
t.getTableDataItem(n, 0) + ", " +
t.getTableDataItem(n, 1) + ", " +
t.getTableDataItem(n, 2) + ", " +
t.getTableDataItem(n, 3) ) ;

}
}

}

package macro;

import star.base.neo.*;
import star.base.report.MaxReport;
import star.common.*;

/**

*/

public class JavaWriteToTable extends StarMacro {

Simulation sim;
Units meter;

public void execute() {
int rowStart = 0;
int colStart = 0;

sim = getActiveSimulation();
Table t = sim.getTableManager().getObjects().iterator().next ();

String format = "%0" + (Math.log10(t.getNumColumns()) + 1) + "d";
int nPoints = t.getNumRows();

t.setTableDataItem(0, 0) = 1234 ;

}

}
