Export VOF=0.5 contour coordinates

jpina · March 6, 2016, 09:44

Dear all,

I am interested in exporting the contour of VOF=0.5 in a text file. I mean, the x and y coordinates where the VOF=0.5.

Does somebody have a clue?

Thanks a lot!

Define an iso-surface. You need to do this after you have finished iterating because the iso-surface does not update with each iteration. The iso-surface is just an ordinary surface like a plane surface of line with a fixed definition of (x,y,z) coordinates after it has been defined.

Then export your VOF on this iso-surface.

Is it possible in a 2D analysis? Surface-Isosurface is not available for me.

It should be available (at least for me it is). The isosurface option is not available if you do not have a solution field. Have you initialized or already solved your problem?

Found LuckyTran, I think my problem is already solved
