Hi all, I simulate a special concentric duct and try to get the temperature or also other profiles along the surface with time. Is there a possibility to generate a table with T(x,t). Or in another way, how can I save data, apart from pictures and *.dat files for every time step (-%t)?

Thanks a lot for your help

Thanks for the hint. I know how to use the surface panel, you only can store average values. I like to store a vector of x (location) and T (temperature) over time so I can show the temperature behavior with time and location. At the end I want to ceat a 3D plot with T(x,t). Does anybody know how to do this in an easy way, perhaps there is somewhere a botton I didn't see until now. Or do I have to write a UDF?

Read the transient case files into a proper post-processor e.g. Fieldview or use a UDF. You can even directly read from the dat files using Matlab.
