Loading an Existing Simulation
For this tutorial, you start from a previously saved simulation file.
To start this tutorial, you can open one of two versions of the simulation file: the one that you created locally, or a previously solved simulation file that is available within the tutorials bundle on the download site. The filename in the following instructions applies to the simulation file in the tutorials bundle.
Due to the size of the simulation, you are advised to launch this tutorial in parallel mode on, for example, 4 cores.
- Launch Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and select .
-
In the Load a File dialog:
- Set Process Options to Parallel on Local Host and Compute Processes to 4 or more—depending on the configuration of the machine that you are using.
- Click Browse.
- In the Open dialog, navigate to the motion folder of the downloaded tutorial files.
- Select MovingReferenceFramesRotatingFan_final.sim and click Open.
- Click OK.
- Save the simulation as fan_rbm.sim.
