Chart Free Surface

joelpeixoto · May 27, 2015, 08:28

Hello everybody.
I have a question about the elevation of the free surface. I am working with ocean waves, and I would get a point on the isosurface the elevation vs function of time.
I know find the elevation but only in a moment of time, I wanted to create a chart where all had moments of simulation time.

thank you, and sorry my bad english.

If you are doing post processing then load up other time steps and it will give you the height at the time steps you have data for.

But best way of doing this is by putting in a monitor point and rerunning the simulation. Then the monitor point will have the result for all time steps and it is easily exported from Solver Manager.
