Loading a Single Row Simulation

The Harmonic Balance simulation starts from a converged steady-state solution. You load the starting simulation file, which includes the single row blade geometry along with the solution of the steady-state simulation, into STAR-CCM+.

To obtain and load the single row simulation provided in the downloaded tutorials bundle:
  1. From the compressibleFlow directory of the tutorials bundle, copy singleRow.sim to your working directory.
  2. In this directory, start up Simcenter STAR-CCM+ in a manner that is appropriate to your working environment, and select File > Load Simulation.
  3. In the Load Simulation dialog, use the Browse button to navigate to the location of singleRow.sim, select it, and click Open.
  4. Click OK to launch a server process and load the selected simulation.
Save the simulation with a different file name before changing anything:
  1. Select File > Save As.
  2. In the Save dialog, enter harmonicBalance in the File Name textbox.
  3. Click Save.
