Missing wind angles in LB2 file

[Andy Xu]

Hello,

My LB2 file has some missing wind angles even though I have the respective wind angle's VAR file. The missing wind angles also vary based on the leakage path location. Could this be the result of a certain wind angle reaching the maximum iterations during simulations?

For example, Path 1 is missing angles above 180 while Path 2 is missing angles from 0-90.

1 9 2 Path_1
Time(s) 0.000000-360.000000
 0 0.517
 30 0.219
 60 -0.176
 90 -0.454
 120 -0.376
 150 -0.217
 180 0.009
 270 -0.376
 360 0.517

2 9 2 Path_2
Time(s) 0.000000-360.000000
 0 0.520
 90 -0.185
 120 -0.654
 150 -0.598
 180 -0.155
 210 -0.575
 240 -0.533
 270 -0.103
 360 0.520

Hi Andy, yes, if the simulation is not convergent, no result for that angle. You can adjust the iteration number and restart.

Thanks, Leon. I’m running into an issue when trying to restart for a single wind angle. For example, when I try to restart at 30°, I set both the first and last step to 30° and reran the simulation. The run completed without errors, but it finished in under a minute, so I’m guessing I’m not restarting it correctly. I also tried toggling between a step of 0 or 30 but still the same outcome. Any thoughts on how this may have happened? Thanks!

Please share with me the files. I will take a look.

Thanks Leon! Please see the cfd0 file attached. The current simulation parameters were set to try and re-simulate wind angle 30.
