Advanced post-processing (to Excel)

Felix

Hello,

I'm looking to do some very efficient automatic post-processing but I don't even know if it's feasible so any advice is welcome. What I would like to do is to export data directly from CFX-Post to MS Excel by launching a .cse file and without having to write intermediate files.

The thing is I often have to export data from CFX-Post to Excel for post-processing and presentation of CFD results. So far, I used to export results to a .dat file and then copy-paste the raw data in an Excel sheet. However, the number of files I have to deal with is quite important and the whole copy-paste/convert thing is time-consuming (and also very boring).

I know that it is possible to write an Excel Macro to read many files but I would then have to specify the File.dat names in my spreadsheet and I would like to avoid that as much as possible (and also get rid of the .dat step).

I don't know if this is even possible but I've seen very interesting interaction between Excel and softwares like Pro/Engineer and Catia and it would be amazing to do similar things with CFX.

Thanks for your help and time,

Felix
