Export additional variable to Post

Adithya_11 · August 4, 2021, 07:34

Hello
I have exported a few variables from Fluent to CFD-Post with a cdat file. I now want to export a few more variables for the same case and data files.
If I create a new cdat file and load those results, it creates a second instance.

Could somebody please inform me on how to just export a few more variables and add those to the case already present in Post?

So if I remember well, you can either choose export to cfd-post or simply export. The second option allows you to choose the variables and can actually export to cfd-post as well

Thank you for your reply. But, my question is a little different.

I have one set of results already loaded in post. I now realize I need more variables. I only want to export the new variables and load them to the same case in Post. If I use the ;Load results' option, it treats it as a new instance altogether, which is not what I want.
I hope this clarifies my question
