How do i open the results from acusolve simulation in paraview.

Hi Abhay,

 

First generate an Ensight output using Acusolve cmd prompt

acuTrans -out -extout -to ensight -run [Run Number]

Then load the .case file in Paraview

Thanks for you reply. By Run Number do you mean the name of the log file?. Please find attached image showing the acusolve command prompt and the directory containing the files.

Should the Acusolve database file, the mesh file and the inp file be of the same name? I had run the cases in batch mode by dumping the inp file from acuconsole. Hence the inp files and the acusolve database files are not of the same name.

Hi Abhay,

 

Always use different directories for multiple runs. anyway now you have different inp files use below command

 

acuTrans -pb [inp file name without extension] -out -extout -to ensight

 

for more help on acuTrans command type....

 

acuTrans -h in the command prompt 

 

if the same inp file is used for multiple times for run then log file will be with extension of run ids. in that case use below command

 

acuTrans -pb [inp file name without extension] -out -extout -to ensight -run [Run Number]
