AcuFieldView Postprocessing
Hello,
I am trying to estimate the backpressure in an exhaust muffler with input as flow rate in lit/min corresponding to the engine speed and outlet BC as pressure. I am new to CFD analysis, so I would like help on how to check pressure drop result in AcuField view. I find it a bit difficult to understand the user interface of AcuField view. I have uploaded a snap of my Boundary condition below.
Thanks,
Srivatsan

You can also refer to the AcuFieldView tutorials that come with the installation. From AcuFieldView: Help > AcuSolve Help Home Page > Tutorials > Altair AcuFieldView Tutorials. There you have three tutorials: AFV-T: 1000, 2000, and 3000.
You can also use AcuProbe, initially covered in some of the main AcuSolve tutorials, such as under Turbulence > ACU-2100. This allows you to see/track integrated values of quantities like pressure on the various boundary surfaces.
Hi Everyone,
I am new to Acusolve and I have started using HW CFD Workflow V2020. I would like to know how to export .fvuns files from HW CFD to use in AcuFieldView.

HW CFD 2021 has much better integrated post-processing versus 2020, so you may be able to do what you need in HW CFD 2021.
Otherwise, you'll need to use the AcuSolve Command Prompt to convert the results to fieldview format. Generally:
acuTrans -out -to fieldview
plus other options needed. See the Programs Reference Manual for more details on acuTrans and/or
acuTrans -h
for usage.
Hi Srivatsan!
You can examine the pressure drop in your model by looking at the pressure contours and also by creating 2-D plots of the pressure variation along a plane in a particular dimension. You may also use a probe to get the exact pressure value at a particular point.
An example for examining the pressure by each of the three methods listed out is given below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
'Bound' or Boundary Surface Window Pressure Contours
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

2D Plot Variation
Hope this helps.
