Hello

I am working on some Perl loop which calculates the different cases in CFX, all in the row, applying slightly different boundary conditions each time.

I have some expressions set in the CFX-Pre as the Monitor Points. Normally, in case of steady-state solution, I am returning value of the Monitor Point in the table in CFX-Post:

=massFlowAve(my expression)@GeometryRegion

which are further exported in the form of the report and then my Perl loop reads it again to process. And that is ok, all works fine. Normally, I set my analysis steady-state, but at some point the solution becomes non-steady (with poor convergence, the monitor points begin to fluctuate - I should use here transient, but that is the next step).

I need some more information about my solution when I have this non-steady situation (and in general). I know there exists the option to 'Monitor Statistics' over some number of itterations. I would like to have for example Average Arithmetic and Standard Deviation, Max and Min and print them in the Table which will be further exported with report. I can see them when I Display Monitors, but I am interested in passing them directly to CFX-Post.

Is there any method to do it? I've tried probe(ExpressionValue)@Monitor Point but it is not working (perhaps I am doing it wrong).

I would like to omit exporting all the data about my Monitor Point in time and processing it in Excel/Matlab. I've tried also the Derrived Variables in Cfx-sol, but with no succes, and I would rather omit using it, since that can change my Perl rather significantly.

I will really appreciate your help

I am confused about what you are trying to do. You say you want to pass CEL expressions to CFD-Post in one line, but talk about processing the expression data in excel/matlab in another.

You can access solver monitor data in real time with a command line option (I think it is cfx5solmon or something like that). But I don't know of any way of getting single value CEL expressions into CFD-Post.

I think you should read through the "Monitor" chapters in the manual. The usage of "cfx5mondata" command line tools are also explained there and there are also a lot of posts here in the forum about it. The most recent one is here:
export of the transient results from CFX
You can then easily import the csv files you get via cfx5mondata into Matlab, Excel or whatever you prefer.

Thanks Maxim, cfx5mondata was the command line I was looking for.
