SolTrace and Large Mesh Sizes - How to Handle Flux Maps for Thousands of Elements?

28 January 2025 1 2K Report

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a project involving SolTrace and I've run into a bit of a challenge. I imported a custom mesh with around 25,000 elements, which was successfully processed and ray-traced(created in Solidworks, meshed in ANSYS, exported in STL, converted to .stinput in MATLAB, imported to soltrace and ray traced).

However, I'm now faced with the daunting task of handling the individual flux maps for each of those 25,000 elements. (.tec and .flx files, for interpolation and mapping in Ansys fluent)

Has anyone else dealt with SolTrace and large mesh sizes like this? How did you approach processing and analyzing the flux data for so many elements?

Any tips, tricks, or scripts would be greatly appreciated!

(attached is the sample 3D cone that I simulated, containing 25 elements in the receiver)

Hi Yosef, I have the same question. The challenge is that each of the 93,000 elements has its own flux map that needs to be processed. Have you found a solution to this? If so, could you please help me understand how to retrieve the flux maps for each element? Thanks & Regards
