Does any anybody know how to export data from FoamX or from Paraview on a line for later post process in Excel or whatever. Concretely i need the velocity profile on a line. How can i take out this data?

Thanks

You want to use sample.

For an example of the setup dict go to
applications/utilities/postProcessing/miscellaneous/sample

Octave in combination with octaviz is a good option. In simple words, octaviz gets the functions from paraview into octave...

Works nice.

Using paraform, try
(1) filter menu --> append dataset
(2) filter meny --> prove
then you can setect prove at the point
ot prove along the line.
(3) save data.

if you don't (1) prove option doesn't appear.
You can select several data format but every
format is encoded. Windows version of paraview
can save data in CVS.
