display report plots

gerritb · October 11, 2017, 22:27

Hi all,

I want to display average temperatures of different volume regions of my model over the calculation iterations (its a steady state analysis). Therefore I created a report plot and a report definition for each volume area. While running the calculation, the plot was displayed properly.

However, after closing the plot window I couldn't find an option to display the plot again. For the residuals (that are also displayed during calculation) I just have to double-click the 'residual' button under 'monitors'. This doesn't work for the report plot though.

Thanks!
Gerrit

Hi Gerrit, in FLUENT on the left go to Solution $\rightarrow$ Monitors $\rightarrow$ Volume. Than create for each of your volumes a Volume Monitor and choose under option "write" and define a File Name (different for each volume) and Folder. You can view this files with any text editor or import it to Excel to create graphs, even during the calculation.
Hopefully that will help.
Cheers Moritz.

Ok, thanks a lot for the advise.
But there is no way to simply bring the plot display back to FLUENT?

Sorry no idea, maybe not.

After the simulation is finished the files can be read into Fluent and displayed as a simple x-y plot. This resolves my problem.

Thanks for the idea with writing the data into files!

Hi, I am runing fluent 19.1 in batch mode for flow over circular cylinder and want to have report file of Cd and Cl. I have these files on runing fluent on my desktop but in batch mode I did not get these files and it do not show any option to give it the path of cluster file. How may I have these in batch mode?

The path is specified when you create the report. If you have the right path specified, and Fluent can write to that path, it will. Just check your case file.

It allows me to link path for saving data but not for saving report file as shown in the circle. is there any solution for this? I have spent a lot of time for searching a solution to this.

Hello,

Just click the calculate button again and stop after 1 iteration. It will show all report plots.

THANKYOU this fixed my solution not updating issue. However it won't show all plots from the beginning, it might only show one iteration.
