Understanding of .cas and .dat file...:(

shivakumar · January 19, 2015, 06:09

HI,

I need to know about the formats of fluent cas and dat files(Solution files). When I referred to the fluent user guide, it has given only the grid size , data field and residuals format. But in my case I need to get shear stress values, pressure values, and density at each points..I'm unable to get these values from case and data file.. How to get these values at all the points on the boundary as well as inside the domain??

Any help would be appreciated..

How do you "need to get"? You need to read it in another program? Use "File->Export" for that. If you need to recycle in another simulation (same geometry, but different mesh works also) use "File->interpolate"
