Import Pressure Loads from File - Unsatisfactory/Problems
Dear All,
I am currently modelling a wing-like structure which generates lift and is of course loaded by a aerodynamic pressure.
I have received a list of aerodynamic loads from pressure and suction side, which I transformed into my models coordinate system. My table looks something like this:
-85 | 76 | 405 | 1,2 |
-82 | 77 | 410 | 1,3 |
-81 | 77 | 414 | 1,4 |
-81 | 78 | 418 | 1,5 |
-80 | 79 | 422 | 1,6 |
I have X,Y,Z coordinates as well as magnitude and its fitting quite well with my geometry, albeit not perfectly.
Now if I apply this pressure using linear interpolation to my whole wing, its working fine. However I only need those pressures on one side, which is why I am only selecting the lower face.
When I click 'create' its calculating and then giving me the message 'No pressures were created' without telling me why. Upper side is also not working.
Furthermore, when I am looking at the pressure created with the full wing, all pressures have the exact same magnitude, which kind of diminishes the point of importing pressure loads.
Have I completely misunderstood the input data I need or is there something else going on? unfortunately the model is classified and I cannot share it, but I hope someone of you knows what has been going on. /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
Thank you for reading this far and best regards,

Without your HM model, nobody can help you

Hello,
You're right, I kind of expected this... I had just hoped I was doing some more obvious mistake.
I had been searching in this forum and for this importing of loads someone had uploaded 2 files as tutorial where I could learn how it works.
Unfortunately they were not available anymore.
Is some sort of tutorial available for importing pressures from a .csv? That would really help me understanding my mistakes. /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
Thanks you your help.
Best Regards,
Lennart
