Cfd-post - how to export figures automatically?
 

Hi everyone!

I am totally new in this forum so excuse me if I say something wrong or the question is already asked (I have not found it, so I guess it's not). I'm making a macro in a .cse for automaticing a process for CFD-post. I have managed to create one that takes all the data for my project on a certain time and exports it in a document. It works pretty well. You can see some fragment down below:

# Session file started: 01:10:45
# CFX-16.2

COMMAND FILE:
CFX Post Version = 16.2

END
# timestep: 0.10
DATA READER:
Domains to Load=
END
> load filename=//...../Model_1-9-0.1.dat , case=Case Model_1_E9v10 9 0.1, force_reload=true

CALCULATOR:
Function = area
Location =
Case Name = Case Model_1_E9v10 9 0.1
END

TABLE:Table 1
Export Table Only = True
Table Export HTML Title =
Table Export HTML Caption Position = Bottom
Table Export HTML Caption =
Table Export HTML Border Width = 1
Table Export HTML Cell Padding = 5
Table Export HTML Cell Spacing = 1
Table Export Lines = All
Table Export Trailing Separators = True
Table Export Separator = Tab
END
>table save=C:/....../Tabla.txt, name=Table 1


Now I'd like to do the same but saving images instead of just data. Through the software I get some figures that I can visualize in the main screen and save as *.png. Those are the images I want to extract, but I don't know how to do it by coding. The point would be do it some certain times as I did for the data as well.

Any help? :) thanks in advance

The easiest way to do session files is to record a session file of doing the thing you want in the GUI. Then you can see the session file commands to do the action.
