    Is there a way to look up the viewfactor file generated between two surfaces in Autodesk Simulation CFD?

    Please use plain text.

    Madiresy,

    The view factors between every part are saved in the “.sol” file. The sol file is found in the solver folder located in C:\Path\Design Study Name\Design Name\Scenario Name\solver. You can use a text editor to view it. Example data:

    Opaque Part-To-Part View Factors
    Part 1 viewing Part 1, VF = 0.309259
    Part 1 viewing Part 2, VF = 0.0286645
    Part 1 viewing Part 4, VF = 0.241882
