Importing the Mesh and Naming the Simulation
Start up STAR-CCM+ in a manner that is appropriate to your working environment 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, polyhedral cell mesh has been prepared for this analysis.
- Select File > Import... from the menus
- In the Open dialog, navigate to the
doc/tutorials/multiphase subdirectory of your STAR-CCM+ installation directory and select file gridfs.ccm.
- Click 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 freeSurface.sim
