Input Table as a Boundary Condition in Star CCM

saurabhcha1 · July 21, 2021, 17:06

Hello everyone,
I am fairly new to using Star CCM+ and am having an issue while trying to put in a table (Time and Temperature columns) as a boundary condition on one surface in my model. I keep getting the error "Time table profile method: No time column found in table". I only have two columns in the table (input via a csv file) and the first column is titled "time". Can anyone help me with this. Thanks!

Go back to where you imported the table, in Tools=>Tables. Find your table. Check what is going on for Table: Time
If your csv is formatted the way Star expects the option will be greyed out. If not, then you should be able to select one of the two coumns. Make sure the correct column is selected. For example, you can also check under Table: Data that both columns are selectable. While you're at it, make sure Table: Data points to your temperature and not the time column.

Thank you for replying. In Tools=>Tables, the option is greyed out. Also, under Table : Data both columns are selectable and I have selected the Temperature one.
One thing to notice is that when I load the Table, I get this message in the output. There is some character before 'time' which is not there in the csv file
