Loading Timestep in CFD-Post

beyonder1 · October 29, 2015, 05:13

Hi,
I have around 100 transient files for a case. I loaded all in cfd-post and trying to export specific parameters for each steps. There in no problem in executing this. I am automating this using session files by loading different timesteps in a loop and then exporting.
By mistake, I loaded some step which is not available but still it is exporting values for that parameter(say i had (0,10,20...100) and i loaded step=5). I want to know which timesteps these values are refering to??

Have a look in the reference manual for available variables. There are variables for the current time step which I think is available in the post processor.

I think you misunderstood me.
I loaded a solver timestep through session file(.cse file) which was not available in 'timestep selector' yet i was able to export pressure value in that timestep which should not be possible. I am asking if it refering to other timestep or it is interpolating between timesteps.

I do not know. It should be pretty easy to work that out by looking at your result file, shouldn't it?
