efforts on a sail was created by Panloup
Hello everybody, I'm a French student and I currently have to study a sail to prepare an exam. I'd like to do a virtual simulation of the impact of the wind on a rigid sail. I made a 3D model and a mesh file with Salome-Meca, and I use Code-Saturne to simulate the flow. At the moment, I just have a scalar map of the pressure field, but I don't know how to obtain efforts on the sail. When I tried: Boundary/Fields/Efforts, Salome-Meca returned "the object can't be built". Shall I specify something to CS before the calculation ? How to define which surface is the sail ?
Thanks

Importing 'efforts' from CS to CA can be tricky, but I remember a few post about it on the CA forum, so head over there and search for it. That's all the help I can provide atm. Lets us know if you figure it out.

Hello,
I am not sure about VISU, but importing efforts on the boundary from CS to ParaView should be rather straightforward :

- using the Code_Saturne GUI, activate output on boundary faces
- under ParaView, use the "extract blocks" filter to separate the volume from the boundary meshes and variables. The efforts will then be viewable

Hmm seems I misread your question. As yfournier points out, Paraview can display these fields.
Note that Paraview is far superior to Salomé when it comes to post-processing results from Code_Saturne (for Ensight format at least)

Hi ! Thank you for your answers. When I tried to open the ensight file with paraview, it asked me to choose a reader... Shall I install an other application, or a reader already takes place on CAElinux ? In this case, what's its name ?

Hello,
You need to choose the .case file with ParaView, which should then realize that you are using the EnSight format and choose the correct reader automatically.
