Extract pressure to excel 3D plot

Jimmyhanchn · November 27, 2017, 01:31

Hi, I am Jimmy. I have gotten the pressure deviation result for a boundary, I can show them via cfx post contour. I would like to show this pressure result by excel 3D plot. can I use CFX post to do this directly? I found a way to extract the pressure result to csv file which can be open by excel. but the pressure result was very very large, it should be depended on mesh I suppose. so it is very hard to draw 3D plot. Give me some advice. Thank you!

Why can't you just use CFX post? I'm sure other plotting software packages are much better than excel. Why do you want to use excel? That won't be easy to do as the format is not the same as what excel wants (x,y,z,data) instead of a matrix.

I don't know how to use CFX post to realize this. I have to use excel due to the others to modify after I edit. Can you give me some software recommendation? Thank you!

If you want lots of flexibility in the data and display then matlab or python with numpy+matplotlib are good choices.
