Hello

I am trying to apply a body force to the particles by the imported field data from fluent. But when i do so i do not see the imported field appearing in the body force data. please let me know how to fix this.

    Hi Shyam,

    On the screenshot you shared there's a Field Data Manager button. If you click on that button you'll be able to import your field, then you can choose the appropriate lift and drag models in the particle body force section.

    Best regards,

    Renan

    I have already imported the field. but i want to apply that field as body force. I am trying to see how to do that. 

    https://community.altair.com/community?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0037692&sys_kb_id=745d281ddb7b2850e8863978f496195b&spa=1

    i am trying to use this as a reference to do that. but the above link itself is not working. i want to take the velocity given in the field and use it to apply a custom drag force. 

    when i do the simulation in the above link the particles always go down. i did not know where to ask a question based on that so i am asking in this context.

    to clear the confusion finding the resolution to this sequence of questions will be helpful

    1. Please tell me how the body force is imported in the above link? I follow the exact steps given in the pdf document but the particles do not go up. they constantly travel downwards

    2. Can i use the same code given in the above link to couple with my current model (I will name the file in the same way)
