extract data
 
hello, i am making some simulations of wave generation in a tank. i have a problem with the extrapolation of the data from CFD post. I am simulating a wave tank and i want to plot the free surface at some fixed times but i am not able to do that. can you help me?
thanks a lot

Yes, we can help you. But you have to explain what the problem is first.

i want to extract the data in CFD post. i want the data of the free surface in a fixed time along the entire domain. how can i compute this?

Load up the time step you are interested in.
Define an isosurface of volume fraction = 0.5

Done. Easy.

ok, but how can i extract the data of the position of the isosurface??

File/Export.

Then select the isosurface as the object to export.
