Mapping data from es-ice or pro-STAR to STAR-CCM+

Data can only be mapped from es-ice or pro-STAR to Simcenter STAR-CCM+, not the opposite. This means that only one-way coupling is possible.

To map imported solution data from es-ice or pro-STAR to Simcenter STAR-CCM+:

  1. Right-click the CAE model node and select Map Data > Surface Data...
    This opens the Map Imported Model Data dialog.
  2. In the Map Direction group box, select Imported Model to Simcenter STAR-CCM+.
  3. In the Imported Surface tree, tick the surfaces of the imported model, from which data is to be taken.
  4. In the Boundaries tree, tick the equivalent boundaries to which the imported data is to be mapped.
  5. In some cases, you might need to select additional options in the Nearest Neighbor Search Constraints group box. Use these options if your initial attempt at mapping fails.
  6. Select the Register to be mapped from the Data to map drop-down menu.
  7. Click Apply to map the imported solution data to the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ mesh.
    This generates a field function with the same name as the imported data, prefixed by Mapped (e.g Mapped Imported Register 4). This field function can then be used in the same way as any other scalar field function.
