Hi,

i am adapting a journal file and associated compiled script from pseudo-transient to full transient.

i am looking to store the UDM information as retrieved in the compiled script to a text file (as now i will want many instances of this data rather than once at the end)

is there a simple way to dump C_UDMI(c0,t0,0) to an array in a text file? I am not incredibly familiar with C, but my simple searches in the last hour or so suggest incrementing text file names (i.e. UDM1.dat, UDM2.dat ... etc) is not trivial..

any help would be greatly appreciated!

It is straightforward actually. Use File > Export > ASCII and select all UDMs that you want to write with a frequency that you want, say, every time-step or every 5th time-step.

Thanks!

Does this suggest that i need to switch from an execute-on-demand function to something that calculates every iteration?

is there a TUI command to do this so i can incorporate it into my journal?

THanks for all the help!

An on-demand UDF can be executed either via GUI or via command. Or you could change ON_DEMAND to EXECUTE_AT_END and hook it. That would be executed at end of every iteration (or at the end of time-step if the case is transient). UDF will be updated accordingly. And you can use same frequency for writing ASCII files.

You can use journal to do both, call on-demand function and write ASCII files.
