Importing the Mesh and Naming the Simulation
Start up STAR-CCM+ and select the New Simulation option from the menu bar.
Continue by importing the mesh and naming the simulation. A one-cell-thick, three-dimensional, hexahedral mesh has been prepared for this analysis. The mesh corresponds to an angle of attack of 0o in the default Laboratory coordinate system.
- Select from the menus.
- In the Open dialog, simply navigate to the
doc/tutorials/aerofoil subdirectory of your STAR-CCM+ installation directory and select file aerofoil.ccm which contains the mesh and boundary definitions.
- Click the Open button to start the import. The Import Mesh Options dialog will appear. Select the following options:
- Ensure that the option is not selected and then click OK.
STAR-CCM+ will provide feedback on the import process, which will take a few seconds, in the Output window. A geometry scene will be created in the Graphics window.
Finally, save the new simulation to disk under file name aerofoil.sim.
