Particle history data export

vavnoon · August 7, 2020, 05:17

Dear friends,

There are some particles in my domain. I would like to get their positions in text format. So I created a new Ensight file in particle history data in calculation activities. I selected Particle x position and I wanted to save data every time step. After running, I opened the file in Notepad++. The file included x, y and z positions of the particles at just last time step.
I didn't expect it. Could anyone please guid me in this regard?

Thank you so much!

Best regards

Actually, at each time step data is written in the file and at next time step new data is replaced.
