plotting transiente results

Michael Rasmussen

Hi

I have a bit of a problem figuring out how I can get the results from a transient simulation out of CFX 5.5.1. What I would like is a time serie of the velocity in a point - preferable in a text format for import in a spreadsheet.

1) I have saved the results for each timestep for my velocity: This results in 555 files: 1.trn 2.trn,..... However The files are binary and I dont know which program can read them - POST will not accept the format - only for animation.

2) I looked at the export facility in the solvermanager. However, The form is not fixed in my windows version - so it is impossible to select the resultfile. - Besides I'm not sure that the formats possible can be used ? (as mentioned above, I would like a simple textfile I can import into a speadsheet or similar)

3) I also looked to set up a monitor in the solver manager - but that is only possible at a patch (e.g inlet) - and not for the velocity at a point.

Is there a workaround - or have I simply overlooked a facility ?

Regards Michael
