Star-CD 4 and importing mesh

hamoudi · May 18, 2009, 13:07

please it is very Urgent

I build my 2D geometry in ICEM-CFD and after this I export the 2D Mesh of this Geometry to solve it in Star-CD 4 but i receive a message that the Star-cd 4 do not accept the 2D mesh importing

i try to use the solver of Star-CD 3.1.0 et Star CD 3.0.5
it was good but there is an other problem that the Star-CD 4 can not read the old boundaries then i have 0 boundaries then i can not define my boundaries in Star-CD4

please if any one have a solution please i am in a waiting

thanck you

It looks like you have some old version of ICEM-CFD - version 11 has STAR-CD 4 in the solver list.

If you can't upgrade for newer version try searching forum archives - there was a topic about .cel and .vrt file conversion (that's how ICEM exports STAR-CD mesh) between v.3.x and v.4.x.

Good Morning Everybody,

I have 2D simulation, i made the 2D Hexa Mesh in ICEM-CFD 11 to solve it
in Star-CD 4.06, but when i try to Export this mesh by selecting the solver
Star-CD 4.06 I receive this error Message ***
************************************************** **
Running ANSYS-ICEM CFD 11 Star- CD 4 interface vers11.0.1
Error exit This Interface only supports 3D Mesh
Error in Translation
************************************************** **

Please if someone can help me, I am in a waiting for your response
I have lost a lot of time

Thanck you very Much

Well, all the information is in the error message - you can't export 2D mesh from ICEM to STAR-CD, only 3D. In ICEM you can extrude one layer of 3D mesh from your 2D mesh (or somehow else convert it from 2D to 3D) - then you'll be able to export it.

Hi friends,
I would like to model k-e model. I drew geometry. so how can I mesh it properly. pls help me with instruction.

I am new user of star cd.
