Exporting 3D streamlines

Stabum · December 5, 2014, 04:23

Hello everybody!
I would like to export the 3d streamlines I have obtained after a simulation.
I mean: if cfx post can plot a 3D streamline, it means its"mathematics" is available. So it must be exportable somewhere else (to a 3dcad, for example)

Can anyone help me? Thanks so much!

File/export and use the streamline object as the locator. Then you will have all the points which define that object in a text file.

This is the CFX forum. My comment referred to the post processor CFD-Post. If you want to use Fluent then try the Fluent forum.
