Abaqus in co-simulation with Star-CCM+

[Simgro]

Hi,

I am doing a co-simulation of a free-falling lifeboat in calm water with water entry angle of 60 degrees and velocity of 21.67 m/s. The co-simulation works fine and the data from Star are mapped without problems. The problem I am having is that the values from the mapping is not the same as the values obtained in Abaqus. Does Abaqus do any scaling of the XY plots?

The static pressure is imported from Star to Abaqus, which means CF in Abaqus. As the attachments shows the tendency is equal for all graphs, while the Abaqus graph has quite small values compared with Star's. All the graphs is taken as average.
