hello.

I want to monitor mass average of a field variable on a surface at the end of each time step in my fluent model. So i use the surface monitor panel and i plot the data and write them to a file. The problem is that if i want to open this file, loading it in solution xy plot or in file xy plot, Fluent send me a message " file not found " altough the file exists! ( name_of_file.out ) Why? How can i open the file ?

Thanks

Did you try to open this with Excel?

which version of fluent do u have, Fluent v6.2 Widows?

I think, it is a bug in this version, U can try to plot a xy-file in Linux or in newest window's Version v6.3, there is no such problem
