Hello,

I want to write a script in POST to calulate an average value of a variable, on a certain plane, across the timesteps.

For this i need the value of the variable in each node of the plane.

Does anybody knows the comand line for getting this value?

Hi,

Why do you need the value of the variable in each node? You can obtain the average of a variable in a surface as areaAve(variable)@surface . Or do you need a different kind of average?

Regards,

Rui

Hi,

this is not what I want. I want to extract data to create a plane. The value stored at a given node would be the average value at that node across the range of timesteps.

I don't want an normal average across a plane.

Hi Caty, If u want the results on particular point, then u can do as follows Make a text file of cloude of points (Giving their cartesian coordinates) like X1 Y1 Z1 X2 Y2 Z2 . . . . Xn Yn Zn

Then go to yhe commond line from CFX Launcher Use commond cfx5interp -vtx <vertex file name> -res <result file name>

Pls. late me know what happens ok

Hi Andy,

hmm it is an intersting path, but i am afraid that it would take too much time. I will try to do so, as it seems like I don't have any other clue.

Thank you

Hi Andi,

Well I exported the data form the plane in excel an there I save them in a txt file. After that I creat another file for the results, empty, txt too.

From the command line I areceived the following error:

The program was unable to read from the data file. STOP called from routine MGSTOP An error has occured in cfx5interp? Unable to retrive vertex.dat.new from working directory: file not found an error has occured in cfx5interp: the cfx 5 interpolation program existed with return code 1

What does this mean????
